Toshiba today announced commercialisation of a 7.7-in low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD designed for mid-size electronic book devices incorporating Microsoft ClearType display technology
Furthermore, a demonstration system has been developed using technology from both companies.
This system comprises a Toshiba TLCS-900-H2 microprocessor prototyping board and Bluetooth starter kit hardware from IAR Systems, and is also equipped with a sample application and a highly compact embedded Bluetooth protocol stack from IAR Systems.
"This partnership strengthens IAR Systems' position as the leading supplier of development tools for Bluetooth products", says Lars-Erik Stenkil, general manager at IAR Systems in Jonkoping, Sweden.
"At the same time, automotive customers using the Toshiba microcontroller devices get a highly compact Bluetooth protocol stack which, in turn, may reduce production costs for vehicle applications".
"Bluetooth wireless technology will drastically ease the connectivity of internal vehicle systems such as mobile phones and the outside world", says Reiner Terorde, senior manager Software Engineering at Toshiba Electronics Europe.
"IAR Systems' optimised Bluetooth protocol stack for embedded applications implemented on Toshiba's advanced 32bit CISC microcontroller series and integrated in the OSEK real-time operating system environment allows our customers to build very cost effective, flexible Bluetooth enabled systems with almost zero penalty on the CPU performance".
