Oki has licensed the ARM926EJ-S processor to strengthen its LSI development in digital consumer electronics and in-vehicle equipment.

Oki has licensed the ARM926EJ-S processor to strengthen its LSI development in digital consumer electronics and in-vehicle equipment "The licensing of this processor will enable us to enhance our CPU line-up for applications in the in-vehicle and digital consumer electronic markets, where functionality and performance are becoming more advanced", said Akira Kamo, President of Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric

"The ARM926EJ-S processor will enable us to develop system LSIs for main controllers for next-generation car navigation systems; for portable digital equipment, where high sound quality, various sound effects and content protection is required; and for multifunction and high-performance portable AV equipment to play video content".

Oki licensed the ARM7TDMI processor in 1995, and since then, has continued to license ARM technology to embed into Oki's uPlat, a platform to develop system LSIs.

Using the newly licensed ARM926EJ-S processor, Oki will develop the uPlat926 platform, which enables users to develop a higher-specification, higher-performance LSI in a shorter period of time.

In addition, by licensing the ARM926EJ-S processor, Oki will provide chips for high-grade car navigation systems which use operating systems that require memory management functions, as well as products that meet high-level customer needs by using the advantages of Jazelle technology which is incorporated in the ARM926EJ-S processor.

"Combining industry-leading ARM technology with Oki's expertise in the area of in-vehicle equipment and digital consumer electronics will enable developers to design compelling, market-leading products", said Takafumi Nishijima, President of ARM Japan.

"With the ARM926EJ-S processor included in Oki's system LSIs and CPU lineup, ARM will further penetrate these important markets".
