Two demonstrations of mobileBAE for the Nucleus RTOS can be downloaded from the Accelerated Technology website.
The demos include a simple command-line player application and a user interface (UI)-based player application that can be built by using the Nucleus Grafix software.
Both demos include mobileBAE, a wavetable and test content.
The demos are ready to use on an ARM Integrator board.
Beatnik's small footprint, scalable software engine supports the real-time synthesis of high-quality polyphonic audio.
As a complete audio subsystem, mobileBAE incorporates a synthesiser, mixer, sample rate convertor, linear audio player and support for midi, SP-midi, Mobile XMF, DLS, RMF and WAV file formats.
The mobileBAE software for the Nucleus RTOS meets mobile gaming requirements, especially for Java-based games requiring JSR-135 and JSR-234 compatibility.
The software also supports 3D audio and other post processing effects.
The Nucleus FILE file management software is also available for developers using the Nucleus RTOS and mobileBAE software.
The Nucleus embedded software is sold with source code and without royalty fees.
Licences for the Nucleus software begin at $12,495.
