ARM Company announce, lie in new developing SpeedPixelTechnologyLtd., Company of fabless, of Hong Kong plan to obtain the arthorization of ARM7TDMI processor for the factory through ARM. SpeedPixel has strong terminal station products system design backgrounds, pass this agreement, the company can develop the systematic solution on advanced slice, when used in, short distance digital wireless video application. SpeedPixel plans to begin its design based on ARM technology through ARMDesignStart. Supported by risk fund, SpeedPixel is stepping up finishing its product design, it is estimated that will be listed on third quarter of 2007.
The manufacturing industry of Hong Kong is well-known, and is accelerating becoming the base of fabless design company now. Though these newly formed companies get support from government, they usually have only drib staff and definite primitive fund, so face how to be had technical challenge of the system under the pressing budget by one leading. In order to solve these problems, ARM put out ARMDesignStart plan in 2005, in order to help the newly formed company before obtaining the arthorization of intact ARM processor commerce, can choose ARM processor and is used for the design. In addition, ARM has already set up complete ecosystem in China, can offer essential third party resources in order to accelerate their design based on ARM. DesignStart plans to offer ARM7TDMI processor and ARM926EJ processor under a plurality of craft nodes to design kits at present.
SpeedPixel cheif technology officer MichaelChan shows: "When we are in seeking to develop has remarkable characteristic, overlengthy battery life-span and supports the systematic solution on applied sheet of low-cost wireless video, ARM7TDMI processor that can plan to be obtained from ARMDesignStart has become the choice that will not be still allowed. ARM7TDMI processor can plan to get through ARMDesignStart, this has lightened our financial burden greatly, make us be absorbed in the development of the innovative products. ARM technology that has already proved through the chip, supports for the factory and the intact ARM ecosystem, help us to shorten the designs and sheet cycles of the products. "
ARM Chinese president Dr. Tan Jun shows: "On a lot of new fabless Companies of China enter the market for the first time, only a very small group and definite primitive fund, but they hope to obtain ARM processor technology in order to develop one to have the system. ARMDesignStart has totally met their demands. SpeedPixel has already finished the course from concept and design to proving and sheet within quite short time. Through ARMDesignStart plan, ARM has revealed again it is always devoted to helping global new developing enterprises and the medium and small-scale fabless Company to utilize leading technology of ARM. This favorable to whole the intersection of ARM and ecosystem, help to merchandize fast innovative products. "
Systematic solution will make OEMs develop high performance, long battery life-span, low-cost, low ones that interfered with and move the wireless video products on one of SpeedPixel. Product these apply the intersection of baby and monitor, family / the intersection of office and the intersection of controlling, enforcing the law, rescuing and toy,etc. and a plurality of fields to extensively.
