| ARM Licenses 1176JZF-S Processor to NEC Electronics ARM has announced that NEC Electronics is the latest ARM Partner to license the ARM1176JZF-S processor, CoreSight technology and the PrimeCell Level-2 Cache Controller for integration into advanced mobile devices. The licensing agreement will enable NEC Electronics to strengthen audio security features for its mobile devices, as well as deliver a system LSI for high-end mobile phones, such as TV phones, requiring video processing capabilities. Moreover, NEC Electronics will be able to develop SoC without encountering bus bottlenecks as the ARM1176JZF-S processor and Level-2 Cache Controller are compliant with ARM AMBA 3 AXI technology. The ARM1176JZF-S processor is optimized for 3D graphics through its integrated, floating-point processor, which enables the running of smooth, graphically-rich applications on mobile devices. The processor supports ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) technology which, when used with the company's Artisan low-power library, can reduce processor energy consumption by up to 60 percent. This enables the ARM1176JZF-S processor to run rich and demanding applications without latency or battery life penalties. Using ARM Jazelle technology, the ARM1176JZF-S processor is optimized for efficient embedded Java execution; essential when running mobile applications. In addition, the ARM PrimeCell Level-2 Cache Controller solution incorporates TrustZone technology, delivering a portable security solution compatible with different operating systems - the ideal platform for mobile devices such as smartphones. Furthermore, CoreSight technology, which provides a complete debug and trace solution for system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, will enable NEC Electronics to accelerate the time-to-market of complex SoC designs. The ARM1176JZF-S processor is compatible with the RealView Developer Suite solution, a member of the RealView DEVELOP family of tools, which reduces the time-to-market for embedded electronics designers. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
