DSP Group Inc Licenses ARM Core For Use In Wireless Residential Market Products
SANTA CLARA, CALIF.AND CAMBRIDGE, UK – Jan. 6, 2003 – DSP Group Inc., (Nasdaq: DSPG), and ARM [(LSE:ARM) (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced that DSP Group has licensed the ARM7TDMI® microprocessor core for use in itS short range wireless residential line of products.
"In applying the ARM® technology to residential wireless market products, like cordless telephony and other short range products, DSP Group has opted to use the industry-leading ARM7TDMI cores and TeakLite DSP cores which bring together excellent power efficiency and operating performance to advanced telephony equipment," said Shlomo Rosenberg, Israeli country manager, ARM. "The ARM7TDMI core is the most widely licensed of all the ARM cores and provides system designers with the flexibility necessary to build embedded devices requiring small size, low power and high performance capabilities."
The ARM7™ core family and TeakLite DSP cores combination is fully supported by a combined development environment based around the ARM RealView™ development solution and DSP Group's TeakLite development board and support software.
"Having an integrated system on a chip solution using the low power and high performance characteristics of the ARM7TDMI core and DSP Group's TeakLite DSP core make it a compelling product for our short range residential wireless products, including cordless telephony, PBX systems, Bluetooth products, IP phones, hands free car kits for the automotive, multimedia handheld devices and others," said Ofer Shneyour, CTO of DSP Group. "ARM has established itself as the leading designer for 32-bit RISC cores over a number of years and our customers will appreciate the benefits of its performance in our ARM Powered® end-products."
About the ARM RealView Development Solution
RealView tools provide designers with the best solution for creating and analyzing systems based on ARM technology. They are designed and used by the same engineers who create the ARM architecture. ARM tools are exposed to the highest level of pre- and post-silicon evaluation and development. As a result, the ARM RealView development solution provides the broadest possible range of support for future ARM architectures and derivatives. ARM RealView tools are fully integrated and provide a complete solution to any design or SoC integration challenge, giving the developer higher confidence in first silicon and a faster time-to-market.
The complete ARM RealView development solution includes:
* RealView compilation tools including a C and C++ compiler, assembler and linker – now available as a stand-alone package
* RealView debug solution made up of the RealView Debugger™ product, RealViewICE™ emulator and RealView Trace™ module
* Boards and platforms including the industry-proven Integrator™ family
