'We are very pleased to offer OEMs and ODMs with a truly integrated RTOS suite for this very competitive portable audio market', said Tomoyuki Uda, Managing Director at eSol.
'From the customer's perspective, a real one-stop solution is important not only for complete and robust software, but also for how it is integrated and offered with the production-ready reference design'.
'Our partnership with TI accelerates time to market to help OEMs/ODMs compete by rolling out their products quickly'.
'By combining our DSP expertise in the audio field with RTOS leadership from eSol, we are able to provide excellent power efficiency and the advanced features manufacturers need to differentiate their products', said Chris Schairbaum, Manager of TI's Portable Audio and Infotainment business.
'Our reference design, combined with a new suite of development tools fully integrated with eSol's very efficient software brings our customers to market faster'.
eSOL also announced that it is currently developing a Kernel Object Viewer (KOV) module for PrKernelv4.
The KOV provides kernel object awareness for Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE).
The KOV provides a detailed snapshot of kernel information including the current status of kernel internal structures, tasks, flags, mailboxes, and other kernel objects.
The official release is expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
PrKernelv4 and PrFile for TI's DA295 processor are now available with full source code from Logic Technology.
