Mistral Ships Starter Kit For TI’s ARM11 Based SoC

Mistral Solutions, headquartered in India, is shipping a Linux based development starter kit for Texas Instruments Incorporated’s (TI) ARM11 based SoC.

Mistral said its OMAP2430 Starter Kit is ideal software development and device prototyping platform for users to get started on wireless/multimedia based application development. The OMAP2430 was one of the first shipping chips to utilise TI’s ARM11 based OMAP-2 architecture.

The OMAP2430 OSK comes preloaded with Linux BSP, and includes tools for developers to begin application development immediately.

The kit includes a 2.6.19 Linux kernel, open-source bootloader, JFFS2 filesystem, and NFS-mounted root filesystem.
Applications targeted include wired and wireless devices such as smartphones, PDAs, gaming and security devices.

Earlier this year Mistral announced the amalgamation of its group companies Mistral Software Pvt. Ltd. and Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The merged company is now called Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
