Support for top-performing cores
Green Hills Software's comprehensive set of software development tools for MIPS-based applications now supports the new MIPS32 24K core family.
The BL2348 RG SoC delivers the performance, integration and functionality required for the latest generation of customer premise equipment (CPE) that connects the home network directly to the access network.
According to a recent report from Infonetics Research, the worldwide market for passive optical networking (PON) systems grew 56% to US $1.74 billion in 2007 over 2006 and sales of Ethernet FTTH equipment grew 89% in 2007 over 2006.
The research firm says that the immediate revenue growth opportunity in the PON market in 2008 is GPON and this will accelerate in 2009 as service providers increasingly deploy PON-based FTTH and FTTB networks to stay competitive.
"We are committed to providing increasingly powerful and cost-sensitive solutions to CPE providers worldwide and our new BL2348 RG SoC delivers on that commitment", said Igor Elkanovich, Vice President of VLSI for BroadLight.
"We look forward to extending our presence in the FTTH market thanks to the performance and flexibility of MIPS' 24K core".
In the BL2348 SoC, the 24K core brings 650 Dhrystone MIPS performance to the GPON control plane processor.
24K processor cores are well-suited for embedded consumer applications including digital and interactive TVs, set-top boxes and DVD players.
With low power consumption, they are also ideal for battery-powered consumer electronics such as mobile phones and portable media players.
