Kit speeds cellular system development
Philips and ARM have collaborated to produce a complete development kit for the market-leading Nexperia Cellular System Solution 6120
Using leading edge ARM RealView tools, the Nexperia Mobile Developer Kit (NMDK) makes integrating multimedia applications into a mobile phone simple, significantly reducing time-to-market for Philips' customers. This makes the NMDK ideal to implement applications such as the capture, playback and streaming of real-time 3GPP and MPEG-4 audio and video files, as well as additional features such as gaming, security and audio enhancements.

As an increasing number of mobile multimedia applications are being implemented, there is a need for them to be integrated into the core of the mobile platform.
The NMDK enables developers to use the platform immediately, bringing 'plug and play' capabilities to application integration.
Incorporating industry-leading components such as the ARM RealView toolchain, which includes the Metrowerks' CodeWarrior integrated development environment (IDE), the kit contains all the elements needed to customise and integrate multimedia applications on Philips' Nexperia Cellular System Solution 6120.
'As mobile phone development cycles continue to shorten and the number of multimedia applications for the phone continues to grow, developers are under increasing pressure to provide greater functionality in a shorter timeframe', commented Gert-Jan Kaat, Senior Vice President Business Unit Mobile Communications, Philips Semiconductors.
'This integrated development kit is designed to meet that need, offering a complete solution that can be easily implemented without the need for configuration'.
