Developer kit accelerates 32bit designs
The ARM RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics is a complete, cost-effective development and debug product for design engineers using STMicroelectronics' general-purpose 32bit MCU products.
Toshiba has been an ARM Partner since 1998 through previous licensing of the ARM7 and ARM9 core families.
As a provider of diverse SoC solutions, Toshiba promotes a strategy grounded in wide-ranging support for next-generation hand-held, digital consumer products and network communication applications.
Licensing the ARM1026EJ-S core will facilitate Toshiba's expansion of its high-performance product portfolio, which targets rapidly expanding high-specification product demand.
The ARM1026EJ-S core is a flexible, high performance, low power CPU which features ARM Jazelle technology for Java acceleration, dual 32/64bit configurable Amba AHB interfaces for increased bandwidth, and a single development toolkit for reduced development costs and cycles.
The flexibility, high performance and low-power demands of the ARM1026EJ-S core will be key features of the high-performance SoC that Toshiba aims to produce by the second quarter of 2004.
"Toshiba has already achieved considerable success from using the ARM architecture, as ARM technology provides us with the most advanced building blocks available for producing cutting-edge digital devices", said Tooru Masaoka, General Manager of the Custom and Telecom SoC Division at Toshiba's Semiconductor Company.
"By adding the ARM10 family core to our product portfolio, we will be able to deliver a range of solutions that target Internet appliances, home gateways, image processing and PDAs.
Demand for these types of products is expanding significantly and the ARM1026EJ-S core will enable us to accelerate the introduction of our next-generation products into these highly demanding markets".
"This licensing agreement demonstrates the calibre of Partners actively producing high-performance products with the ARM10 family cores and the further commitment to ARM technology", said Takio Ishikawa, President, ARM.
"By licensing the core, Toshiba is broadening its opportunity in the embedded market and demonstrating the strength of the ARM Partnership, which contributes to future growth in the technology sector generally".
