"Software is an important element of our Total Technology Solution," said Kevin Walsh, Vice President of Marketing for Arasan. "Our new SDIO neX gives customers the next generation of efficiency that they need to bring up the rich set of applications supported by SDIO for mobile devices which need to deliver maximum throughput with low CPU overhead when used with our SDIO Host and SDIO Device Controller IP."
SDIO neX supports the high throughput capabilities necessary when using SDIO with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and WiMax embedded applications. The code can be compiled in these applications producing better throughput and requiring fewer threads to the OS. The result is the best performance in a compact implementation. The stack may be licensed by vendors developing platforms for products like cellular handsets, multi media devices, gaming platforms and other consumer products who wish to have SDIO support. The deliverables include the source code to the stack, technical documentation and one year of support.
Arasan offers custom porting services for SDIO neX for OS. These OS include Nucleus, ThreadX, uITRON, and VxWorks. Arasan works closely with customers who need customizations for their particular applications. The software is shipped in object form with our Hardware Design Kit (HDK) for SDIO. This kit can be purchased separately. The SDIO neX stack is tuned to work with the SDIO Host, SDIO Device IP and the SDIO Combo IP, which supports CE-ATA as well, all from Arasan.
Arasan is the leading provider of the SDIO Host IP Core and the SDIO Device IP core with over 100 licenses sold to date to companies like Intel, Toshiba, LSI Logic, and HP.
