DSP Package Streams to Multimedia DevicesBy Driving the development of Linux-based digital media applications, Texas Instruments, Ingenient Technologies, and RidgeRun have released an embedded Linux operating system for TI's imaging digital signal processor (DSP) package, enabling faster and easier development of streaming video multimedia devices. RidgeRun will provide its DSPLinux operating system and Board Support Package (BSP) for the TI imaging platform, and Ingenient will integrate its MPEG-4 technology for streaming media. This technology bundle will give developers of next generation multimedia portable appliances, such as digital cameras, digital video camcorders, portable media players, and Webpads, the ability to use the DSPLinux platform in conjunction with Ingenient's MPEG-4 streaming media technology. The Ingenient technology uses the image processing strengths of TI's C54x-based TMS320DSC24, a low-power, programmable DSP imaging platform, while DSPLinux offers developers an easy way to access MPEG-4 and other multimedia algorithms running on the DSP from the Linux kernel. The TI DSC24 demonstration platform, featuring the RidgeRun BSP, includes the DSPLinux software development kit (SDK), Linux OS, drivers, and cross-development tools. The fully supported environment includes the full suite of embedded Linux development tools: the GNU compiler, linker, assembler and debugger tool chain, as well as the powerful Appliance Simulator, which allows programmers to develop and test their embedded software in a workstation environment and is ideal for tasks such as user-interface development. The TI DSC24 is available today and shipping in production devices. Pricing for the DSC24 in quantities of 100,000 units or more is less than $25. The DSC24-based demo platform utilizing the Linux OS and MPEG- 4 technology is expected to be available in early 4Q 2001. Links: |
