“RidgeRun, Inc. announced that it is partnering with
DevelopOnline to offer RidgeRun’s DSPLinux SDK, based on Texas
Instruments’ TMS320DSC21 digital signal processor (DSP), through
DevelopOnline’s Web-based open platform development site. This
platform, to be fully online by April, will give developers easy
access to the complete DSPLinux simulation and hardware environment
via DevelopOnline. Now leading digital camera and other Internet
appliance manufacturers can leverage the performance of TI’s DSP
technology and shorten time to market by capitalizing on the depth
of Linux-based applications.”
“DSPLinux is optimized for multimedia applications in which
DSP’s offer tremendous processing power with very low battery
consumption. DSPLinux is focused on dual-core ARM+DSP
architectures, with its Linux kernel residing on the ARM processor
to control the operation of the DSP. DSPLinux provides a powerful
Open Source API, its Open Multimedia Interface (OMI), to give
access to the multimedia power of the DSP to any Linux programmer
without requiring DSP algorithm development. Furthermore, DSPLinux
includes powerful proprietary features such as memory compression,
power management, and the DSPLinux Bridge, which controls the
resources of the DSP.” “The combination of DSPLinux and
DevelopOnline’s open platform site provides an optimum path for
developers to get Internet centric devices rapidly to market,” said
Dr. Raj Talluri, business manager of the Digital Still Camera
Business Unit at Texas Instruments. “The programmability of the
DSC21 also translates into significant reductions in development
time and costs for customers.”
