Enea supports TI OMAP-L138 applications processor

Enea has announced support for Texas Instruments' OMAP-L138 Applications Processor. The solution features the Enea OSE RT for ARM926EJ-S, Enea OSE compact kernel RTOS 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.

"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 using a dual-core architecture and therefore provides benefits of both fixed/floating point DSP and Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) technologies.

"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."
