Innvo Systems is supporting Embedded Linux 2.4.19-rmk6-omap1 kernel with Qtopia 1.6 using Qt/Embedded libraries on the TI OMAP platform.

Innvo has extensive experience in software development, optimisation of embedded systems and turnkey software integration for wireless devices.

Taking open source components from the Linux community to get up and running with Qtopia has been a major success for Innvo.

"We look forward to providing design, development and customisation services based on TI's OMAP technology", said Guruprakash SK, CEO of Innvo Systems.

"Linux, due to its open source and royalty-free nature, is fast becoming essential for many embedded applications", said Gregory Mar, Worldwide Marketing Manager, Broad Market OMAP, TI.

"Contributions from companies like Innvo Systems in supporting Linux on the OMAP platform will help TI's customers harness the full potential offered by the OMAP platform".

Innvo Systems is working with TI to extend development support for wireless device manufacturers who use TI's OMAP processors and wireless modems that deliver voice and multimedia enhanced applications.

Included in the OMAP platform is the OMAP5910 enhanced embedded processor that integrates a digital signal processor (DSP) with an ARM GPP core, to offer a real-time processing platform with RISC processing capabilities for high-end multimedia rich converged voice and data PDAs, smartphones, web tablets, kiosks, medical imaging and other types of embedded devices.
