Multimedia development for Freescale processor
Fluffy Spider Technologies has released a version of its FancyPants multimedia application development platform for the Freescale i.MX21 development board.
Development platform is bundled with microkernel
Embedded software solution aims to bring advanced graphics, security and multimedia features to OEMs of high- and low-cost mass-market devices.
FancyPants is a platform created by FST for embedded application development.
It enables OEMs to quickly and easily develop innovative and feature-rich devices with advanced graphical user interface capabilities and high-performance multi-media, while also reducing hardware resource requirements and development costs.
Opera's embedded web-browser solutions have shipped on almost 100 million mobile phones from the major manufacturers and operators worldwide and also deliver the power of the web to set-top boxes, portable media players and other devices.
Based on the same core engine as the Opera desktop browser, these accelerate the development of devices and ensure the highest quality internet experience.
FST has initially ported Opera for FancyPants running on ARM processor-based devices, with release subject to specific business opportunities.
The integration is readily demonstrated on a desktop environment and initially focuses on embedded Linux operating systems, while FancyPants is also readily ported to other operating systems and display subsystems.
This enables developers of products such as smart phones, TV Set tops, point-of-service terminals, electronic advertising, in-car systems and building automation devices to leverage the power of the internet as part of the FancyPants platform.
The alliance also offers OEMs the option of outsourcing the complete software development lifecycle of these next generation products.
"We look forward to the ongoing collaborative delivery of products that enable OEMs to further differentiate themselves and offer better end-user service with highly innovative devices", said Robi Karp, CEO, Fluffy Spider Technologies.
"FancyPants offers an unparalleled user experience, enabling OEMs to create embedded applications with a breathtaking look and feel, while meeting the rigorous demands required in embedded environments", said Karp.
"FancyPants plug-in architecture readily delivers the benefits of Opera, which is also the fastest and most secure cross platform browser, available for a wide range of mobile handsets", said Scott Hedrick, SVP, Opera Software.
