Leveraging
the latest “Unified BSP” for Texas Instruments (TI) CortexTM-A8 MPUs,
Adeneo
Embedded supports the BeagleBone community with Windows Embedded Compact 7
Ecully,
France and Bellevue, WA, June 5, 2012 - Adeneo
Embedded, a platinum member of the Texas Instruments Design Network, and a
Microsoft Windows Embedded Gold Partner and recipient of the “Windows Embedded
Excellence Award” from 2007 through 2011, announces the availability of Windows
Embedded Compact 7 reference board support packages (BSPs), along with a full
suite of support services, including customized support, training and
development services, for the SitaraTM AM335x ARM® CortexTM-A8
processor-based community board, the BeagleBone.
BeagleBone is a low-cost,
high-expansion board that can either works stand-alone or acts as a USB or
Ethernet connected expansion companion for BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard-xM
boards, based on 720MHz SitaraTM MPU AM3359 with 256MB DDR2 memory.
BeagleBone BSP
developed by Adeneo Embedded is based on the latest version of the Texas
Instruments “unified BSP” for Windows Embedded Compact 7 which supports TI ARM®
CortexTM-A8 devices, including OMAP35x, AM335x, AM35x, AM37x, AM387x
SitaraTM ARM® MPUs and DaVinci DM37x and DM816x video processors. Through
a strategic collaboration between TI and Adeneo Embedded, this unified BSP is available
from Adeneo Embedded website since February 2012.
Windows Embedded
Compact 7 provides developers, designers and original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) with a powerful real-time OS and a full suite of development tools,
enabling an integrated, streamlined development experience to speed devices to
market.
The Sitara AM335x platform
used on the BeagleBone is a cost and performance optimized solution targeting portable,
pocket-sized applications. Starting at $5 and consuming as low as 7 mW of
power, the AM335x ARM® CortexTM-A8 processors
provide low power consumption while prolonging battery life and reducing heat
emissions. Developers have access to a high performance processor with advanced
3D graphics capabilities, touch screen controller and sophisticated peripherals
all on a single chip.
"Releasing this new BSP for the BeagleBone
community board highlights our commitment to Texas Instruments and Microsoft to
support OEMs from early prototyping to shipment of their
devices," said Yannick Chammings, chief executive officer, Adeneo
Embedded. "Our ‘community board’
strategy was initiated with the release of Windows Embedded Compact 7 BSP for
BeagleBoard xM. With the availability of the BSP for BeagleBone, customers can
now evaluate Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the whole scope of development
platforms available for TI MPUs, covering prototyping, early evaluation, as
well as industrial development stages.”
“Texas
Instruments is excited to have Adeneo Embedded's support of the BeagleBoard
community with a BeagleBone-based Windows Embedded Compact 7 BSP,” said
Thomas Kelly, director, TI’s Design Network. “The combination of BeagleBone and Windows Embedded Compact will ease
the development of new innovative intelligent embedded systems for community
members and OEMs alike,”
“Adeneo Embedded’s support for the Windows Embedded Compact platform on
the BeagleBone community board opens new opportunities for better innovation
across the device development cycle, giving customers greater ability to create
optimized devices to power intelligent systems for the enterprise,” said
Lorraine Bardeen, marketing director for Windows Embedded EMEA at Microsoft.
OEMs interested in
using these technologies for their devices can discuss further support options
available by contacting our sales team at sales@adeneo-embedded.com.
