Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

2009-08-29 Thread microbit
Hi,

I don't know about Video set top box, but just about any other device is
ARM. This includes PMP, gaming consoles,and the massive Cellular market. In
the cellular market TI also has that prettty much cornered. About 9 out of
10 mobiles have custom TI DSP silicon integrated into it one way or
another.
Maybe I should have elucidated - just about any *portable* consumer device
?

Best regards,
Kris

 Last I heard, most video set top boxes / PVRs have MIPs inside.
 MIPS seems to be popular in home routers routers too.

Darn, I should stay out of this kind of discussion but:
What gaming console uses ARM? The only one I know of is the Zeebo.

xbox, ps3 and wii all use versions of Power PC.
However many portable devices do use ARM.

Iphone uses a Samsung arm.
most likely Motorola phones use freescale arm processors.
G1 uses a qualcomm processor.
Panasonic has it's own arm.
Most low end routers use Broadcom chips.
High end routers use Freescale PowerQUICC and the like.

Do you work for TI?

Hi,

Nope, I don't work for TI :-)
I did consult as third party vendor RF/MSP430 for TI DRAD (Digital Radio)
division in Dallas, TX and MSP430 HQ, Freising, Germany for several years.
(I'm in Melbourne, Australia however)
Actually, I'm still listed as endorsed 3rd party but I'm not much active
anymore, looking at becoming an employee again...
I got to (p)review internal specs of RF alpha  beta silicon quite a bit
and got some insider info along the way.
I can assure you that a lot of cellular chipsets do use custom TI DSP
silicon under the bonnet...

Perhaps I did mis-phrase initially.
Sorry for the brief tangent !
