TECHNOLOGY FORUM, ORLANDO, FL —June 27, 2007
Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software
optimization (DSO) and real-time operating
systems (RTOS), today announced that its product suite, including
the MULTI integrated development
environment, µ-velOSity royalty-free
real-time operating system, TimeMachine tool
suite, Green Hills compilers,
and Green Hills Probe are now available
for the Freescale i.MX27 multimedia applications processor. This new
support enables customers to reduce their cost of software development
and shorten the time-to-market for their cordless and mobile phones,
healthcare equipment, intelligent remote controls, point-of-sale terminals
and other products based on the i.MX27 processor.
“Green Hills Software is a core component of the Freescale ecosystem.
This is proven with their portfolio expansion to include a comprehensive
solution of tools and operating systems for our latest mobile multimedia
processor, the i.MX27,” said Aaron Shagrin, director of business
development, Freescale. “The collaboration between Green Hills
and Freescale demonstrates our commitment to providing customers with
the right solutions at the right time.”
At the Freescale annual technology forum in Orlando, Freescale’s
Wireless Developer Network recognized Green Hills Software as the Tools
Partner of the Year. Green Hills was honored for demonstrating strong
coverage for the i.MX family with their industry-recognized family of
tool products including: MULTI® and TimeMachine™ environments, INTEGRITY® family
of operating systems, and hardware probes. Additionally, Freescale recognizes
Green Hills support of Freescale and its customers illustrated by technical
expertise and flexibility that provides leading-edge tools solutions
for the i.MX family.
The Green Hills portfolio for the i.MX27 processor comes from 25 years
of experience providing development tools and RTOSes that make it easy
for software developers to utilize the silicon’s optimizations
while reducing their time-to-market and improving the quality and security
of code running in the end product. Portfolio components include:
- MULTI integrated development environment and TimeMachine tool suite – the
revolutionary back-in-time tool suite that gives embedded software
developers unprecedented visibility to see and fix software flaws
- Green Hills C/C++compilers for the ARM926EJ-S™ core – hundreds
of optimizations designed to exploit the core’s characteristics
to generate the fastest and smallest code in the industry
- µ-velOSity real-time operating
system – providing industry-leading performance, minimal memory
(less than 1.6 KB) and power-saving footprint for resource-constrained
and cost-sensitive devices
- Green Hills Probe – providing reliable and efficient debugging
using the i.MX27 JTAG port
- Support for the INTEGRITY real-time operating system and SuperTrace
Probe for on-chip trace via the i.MX27 ETM port is planned for later
in 2007
“We are impressed with the performance, power, and multimedia
capabilities of the i.MX27 processor,” commented Dan O’Dowd,
founder and chief executive officer of Green Hills Software. “More
embedded products rely on the combination of Freescale’s processors
and Green Hills’ software for their success than any other solution.”
About the Freescale i.MX27 multimedia applications processor
The i.MX27 processor was created in response to the needs of design engineers
tasked with pushing the performance envelope, packing in a lot of connectivity
options and providing robust security in mobile device designs. Derived
from the popular i.MX21 processor and based on the ARM926EJ-S core,
the i.MX27 processor is the next step toward high-definition video
in handhelds with the addition of an H.264 hardware codec for D1 high
resolution video processing. An Ethernet 10/100 MAC, security, USB
plug-and-play connectivity, and more power management features make
the i.MX27 processor an excellent choice for video and voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) cordless and mobile phones, intelligent remote controls,
point-of-sale terminals and many other consumer, industrial and general
purpose applications.
Availability
The Green Hills Software solution for the i.MX27 processor is available
today.
