Mentor Graphics Corporation, that deals in electronic design automation for electrical engineering and electronics has delivered an Android Development System for the the semiconductor company Texas Instruments Incorporated 's OMAP35x processors based on ARM (http://channels.opensystemsmedia.com/ARM)® Cortex A8 technology. Mentor Graphics is a member of the TI Developer Network, a community of companies that offer products and services based on TI analog and digital technology. Companies working on OMAP35x processor-based designs can leverage the Mentor Graphics version of the Android application framework for Android-based applications.
The Mentor Graphics solution for Android opens the door for OMAP35x developers designing medical, communication, industrial, instrumentation, home Security and digital Video applications. To get started, developers can leverage TI’s OMAP35x evaluation module to harness the solution’s most advanced features, performance and functionality available for their Android-based embedded designs.
Additionally, the Mentor Android Development System is also ready for use with the BeagleBoard from beagleboard.org (http://beagleboard.org/). Based on the OMAP3530 processor, developers can also run Android on a small, low-cost board that provides the functionality of a basic computer used for open source development. With the new Android platform, embedded developers gain power savings, performance optimization, reduced system cost and reduced risk in developing their embedded products.
“There is tremendous business potential for Android-based embedded devices beyond the mobile market, so our collaboration with TI fulfills the demand from our mutual customers today,” said Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division general manager. “By providing TI with an embedded ‘ecosystem’ that includes technologies and services for Linux and Android-based devices, we are enabling our customers to create innovative products.”
