MontaVista Moblinux For TI OMAP3430 Integrating ARM

MontaVista Software, Inc., a member of the ARM Connected Community, has unveiled a MontaVista Mobilinux package to optimize the development of Linux-based mobile devices on the high-performance Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP3430 applications processor.

The OMAP3430 is the first applications processor to integrate the ARM Cortex-A8 superscalar microprocessor core. Combined with TI’s technology in the OMAP3430 processor, the ARM Cortex-A8 enables faster user interfaces, faster data access, and boosts productivity and entertainment applications on the mobile phone, while maintaining power efficiencies expected in a handset.

MontaVista Mobilinux is an optimized Linux operating system with development tools for designing wireless handsets, and other mobile devices such as MIDs (mobile Internet devices), GPS devices, portable medical products, and automotive infotainment.

MontaVista Mobilinux 5.0 for the Texas Instruments’ OMAP3430 processor is available now directly from MontaVista.
