SAN JOSE, Calif., March 30, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE -- Ubicom(R), Inc., a leading provider of networking and multimedia processors, today announced the release of a Linux Board Support Package (BSP) with a complete implementation of the Linux 2.6.28 SMP kernel, device drivers, GNU tool suite and documentation for rapid development of networking and multimedia products. The BSP includes reference applications for router gateways and networked media players using turnkey open source packages. Additionally, Ubicom provides reference hardware, design files and fabrication data for Router Gateway and Media designs, as well as a CPU development board and personality boards for other applications. All the released hardware and software solutions support the company's latest IP7000(TM) family of processors.
The Ubicom IP7000 family of networking and multimedia processors featuring the UBICOM32(TM) 12-way multithreaded architecture can be clocked at frequencies up to 600MHz, which can deliver two to three times the performance at the same frequency compared with a traditional single-threaded RISC processor. Designers can also use a wider range of interface options via Ubicom's unique software I/O technology. The integrated SIMD video coprocessor and DSP instruction set makes audio and video applications deterministic and less processor-intensive. The Ubicom Linux BSP allows developers to rapidly deploy existing applications while taking advantage of Ubicom's multithreaded system. Ubicom has enhanced the classic Linux development cycle by providing state of the art tools including: an advanced Ethernet based version of GDB enabling full kernel and driver debugging; Ethernet based user level debugging; a configuration tool enabling developers to quickly configure the Software I/O features of the processor; and an in depth Ethernet based profiler tool. The advanced profiler tool leverages Ubicom's unique multi-threaded architecture to run real time statistical profiling without affecting system performance and collect rich profile data such as CPU and memory utilization per function.
