OKI Electric Licenses ARM Technology for Digital Consumer Electronics and In-Vehicle Equipment
Tokyo, Japan, and Cambridge, UK– Nov. 15, 2005-- Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TSE: 6703) and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)] today announced that Oki has licensed the ARM926EJ-S™ processor. With this license, Oki plans to strengthen its LSI development in digital consumer electronics and in-vehicle equipment.
“The licensing of this processor will enable us to enhance our CPU line-up for applications in the in-vehicle and digital consumer electronic markets, where functionality and performance are becoming more advanced,” said Akira Kamo, president of Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric. “The ARM926EJ-S processor will enable us to develop system LSIs for main controllers for next-generation car navigation systems; for portable digital equipment, where high sound quality, various sound effects and content protection is required; and for multi-function and high-performance portable AV equipment to play video content.”
Oki licensed the ARM7TDMI® processor in 1995, and since then, has continued to license ARM® technology to embed into Oki’s µPLAT®, a platform to develop system LSIs. Using the newly-licensed ARM926EJ-S processor, Oki will develop the ìPLAT926 platform, which enables users to develop a higher-specification, higher-performance LSI in a shorter period of time. In addition, by licensing the ARM926EJ-S processor, Oki will provide chips for high-grade car navigation systems which use Operating Systems (OS) that require memory management functions, as well as products that meet high-level customer needs by utilizing the advantages of Jazelle® technology which is incorporated in the ARM926EJ-S processor.
“Combining industry-leading ARM technology with Oki’s expertise in the area of in-vehicle equipment and digital consumer electronics will enable developers to design compelling, market-leading products,” said Takafumi Nishijima, president of ARM KK. “With the ARM926EJ-S processor included in Oki’s system LSIs and CPU line-up, ARM will further penetrate these important markets.”
