Empower Technologies to Co-exhibit with Texas Instruments
at embedded world Conference 2005
Richmond, British Columbia – February 18, 2005 - Empower Technologies Corporation (“Empower”) announced today the participation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Empower Technologies, Inc. of Redmond, Washington, in the embedded world Conference to be held February 22-24, 2005 in Nuremberg, Germany. Co-exhibiting with Texas Instruments, Empower will be showcasing the power of the LEOs Development Kit for OMAP5910 (LDK5910) for the first time to European audiences.
“Co-exhibiting with TI at such a prestigious event as the embedded world Conference is a fantastic opportunity,” stated Paul Leung, chairman and CEO of Empower Technologies. “Empower’s pairing of LEOs with OMAP5910 in the LDK5910 opens a door of possibilities for dynamic and affordable application development. With increased headroom for rich, real time functions, the LDK5910 harnesses the versatility and flexibility of LEOs for OMAP5910 - redefining the expectations and demands of developers worldwide.”
Last October, together with Texas Instruments, Empower launched the LinuxDA TM Embedded O/S (LEOs) powered by TI’s OMAP5910 dual-core processor. Geared to powering portable data terminals (PDT) with real-time data and multimedia capabilities, the OMAP5910 is a dual-core SoC (system-on-chip) for applications requiring high-performance signal processing at low power consumption.
The LDK5910 combines LEOs, the OMAP5910 dual processor and an evaluation module (EVM) to afford a new level of cost and production efficiency to application development. With LDK5910, the OMAP hardware reference design is optimized to allow engineers to use LEOs to develop applications using the power of the OMAP5910 dual processor. And no licensing fees exhibit until the applications are ready for commercial release. LDK5910 encourages engineers to develop with flexibility, power and versatility starting at $900 USD.
The LDK5910 includes:
- LinuxDA Embedded O/S (LEOs)
- OMAP5910 CPU 289 pin package
- TMS320C55x DSP and a TI DSPLink Device Driver for TI DSP Programming
- ARM925 microprocessor unit
- Complete evaluation module consists of three separate PCB modules – an embedded processor, interface display and LAN/expansion module
- I2S Audio Codec AIC 23 power amplifier, speaker, headphones, and microphone connections
- NEC Thin film Transistor (TFT) Liquid crystal display (LCD) with Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA), 240x320 resolution and 16-bit color screen
- USB Client and Host port, 10-Mbit Ethernet LAN port and HP logic analyzer debugging port
- Software Development Kit (SDK)
