Freescale Semiconductor is at the forefront of delivering solutions that help you easily deploy Linux® software for your specific embedded designs. We enable a broad span of products across a wide range of markets--networking systems, industrial control, consumer electronics, wireless platforms and automotive operation--with our full range of silicon, software and tools. We offer a single source for development, run control, code analysis and development tools, as well as hardware, software, services and commercial Linux distributions. This single source strategy delivers turnkey development capabilities that help get products to market faster.
Networking
Freescale’s processors built on Power Architecture ? technology are a staple in networking communications markets, largely evidenced through the industry-leading PowerQUICC? line of communications processors. With our partners, we offer processing and Linux solutions for almost every networking application you can imagine--SOHO routers, voice-over-IP systems, wireless base stations, telecom switches, storage subsystems. Our Linux development solutions, which include board bring-up, kernel-level debugging and driver development, make it fast and easy to deploy Linux software on this popular architecture. Freescale also collaborates on carrier grade Linux solutions.
Consumer Electronics
Freescale’s embedded Linux applications give our customers the right tools to take the latest consumer technology to the next level. Our solutions enable them to quickly deliver innovative, quality products, such as mobile phones, personal video recorders, set-top boxes, networked home and media centers.
For example, the i.MX family of applications processors provides Linux board support packages and third-party development tools to accelerate and simplify your design process. The i.MX31 Linux platform enables customers to run multimedia MPEG4 at 30 fps VGA resolution and provide eye-popping 3D capabilities, while the new i.MX27 processor moves the mobile multimedia experience one step closer to high definition video via an integrated hardware accelerator for H.264 D1 (DVD quality) performance.
Wireless
Freescale’s embedded Linux platforms deliver control, flexibility and advanced functionality to mobile and wireless device manufacturers. For example, the Freescale Mobile Extreme Convergence (MXC) mobile phone platforms and i.MX family of multimedia applications processors enabled by Linux OS are powering smartphones, portable media players, PDAs, mobile gaming and a variety of other devices.
Automotive
Freescale has automotive-grade Linux software specifically engineered to meet industry requirements such as:
Fast device boot time
Real-time execution environment
Comprehensive power management framework
Small footprint embedded GUI
Freescale offers comprehensive Linux development solutions designed to support the entire development process. The Freescale MPC5200 platform built on Power Architecture technology includes custom board support packages to support board bring-up and Linux kernel-level debugging, and CodeWarrior development and analysis tools to support application creation and testing.
Industrial Control
Industrial market opportunities for embedded Linux applications continue to grow--ranging from factory automation to commercial robotics. The CodeWarrior? suites for Linux OS host development environments support Freescale’s i.MX and ColdFire architectures as well as Power Architecture technology, and enable Freescale customers in the industrial controls market to assimilate Linux software into next-generation products.
