Enea Announces Support for Texas Instruments' OMAP-L138 Applications Processor

Enea Announces Support for Texas Instruments' OMAP-L138 Applications
Processor

Fully integrated software platform spans both CPU and DSP for rapid
development of low-power applications

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 21 September, 2010 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA)
today
announced support for Texas Instruments' OMAP-L138 Applications
Processor. As the only
embedded systems vendor offering realtime operating systems (RTOS) for
both microprocessors
and digital signal processors (DSPs), Enea is uniquely positioned to
deliver a comprehensive
software platform (www.enea.com/omapl138 (http://www.enea.com/omapl138))
for System-on-Chip devices like the OMAP-L138.
The solution features the Enea OSE® RTOS
(www.enea.com/ose (http://www.enea.com/ose)) for ARM926EJ-S™, Enea
OSE® compact kernel RTOS optimized for TI's C6000™ DSPs; Enea® LINX, for
Interprocess
communication; Enea® dSPEED, a system level field debug and management
framework and
Enea® Optima development suite. For developers building low power
applications with the TI
OMAP-L138, the Enea solution provides a complete, production ready and
fully supported system
development environment based on a single programming model (API) and
tools across all cores
- reducing complexity, and accelerating development.

“Enea software has been designed from the ground up for multicore and
System-on-Chip
environments like TI's OMAP-L138,” said Mathias Båth, senior vice
president of marketing at
Enea. “By integrating our highly optimized and proven-in-use OSE
technology for TI's ARM® and
C6000 DSPs into a single consistent runtime and tools platform,
customers will get a clear
advantage in terms of accelerated development, integration and debugging
of highly reliable and
performance critical applications on the OMAP-L138”

“With Enea's new solution based on TI's OMAP-L138 applications
processor, customers
immediately gain the powerful operation system support they need,” said
Joy Ji, OMAP-L1x
product line marketing manager, TI. “Enea's software platform will help
OMAP-L138 developers
achieve the integration, programmability and debugging ease that they
require on the processor's
DSP and ARM cores.”

TI's OMAP-L138 is a low-power applications processor based on an
ARM926EJ-S and a
TMS320C674x™ DSP core. It is designed to allow OEMs to quickly bring to
market devices
requiring robust operating system support, rich user interfaces, and
high processing performance
life through the maximum flexibility of a fully integrated mixed
processor solution. The dual-core
architecture of the device provides the benefits of both fixed/floating
point DSP and Reduced
Instruction Set Computer (RISC) technologies for optimal performance and
programming
flexibility.

“The comprehensive software solution that we are announcing today is
already receiving
attention from OEMs,” said Per Åkerberg, president and CEO at Enea. “In
fact, we have recently
closed a design win in the communications infrastructure market. This
clearly illustrates the value
of having a common software model across all the processing cores on an
advanced application
processor like TI's OMAP-L138.”
