Today, we’re introducing StarterWare — free user-friendly, production-ready software packages that make development fast and easy and reduce system latency. One of the first StarterWare packages available is for our industry-leading OMAP-L138 DSP + ARM processors.
StarterWare for the OMAP-L138 DSP + ARM processor offers application programming interfaces (APIs) to configure and interface with peripherals as well as lightweight software stacks to enable USB, network and graphics functionality. The OMAP-L138 DSP + ARM processor is also supported with a simplified and low-latency inter-processor communication software layer that does not require an operating system, enabling processing and input/output (I/O) tasks to be efficiently shared between the two cores for optimized system performance. In addition, StarterWare uses consistent software API to allow easy migration to other TI embedded devices.
It all adds up! Developers can:
- Accelerate development time up to 10X with example code and application nodes included with StarterWare.
- Reduce system latencies by up to 500X compared to running under the Linux® operating system.
- Spend $0 to ease and speed their embedded design process.
