ARM+DSP - a winning combination on Qseven

ARM Conference Munich July 2012 1

Q s e v e n

Over 6 Billion ARM-based chips sold in 2010 – 10% market share in mobile computers

– 35% market share in set-top boxes

IHS market research predicts 23% market share in PC’s thru Microsoft’s Windows 8 by 2015

Qseven supports x86 and ARM on a module using the same carrier board

New ARM technology is interchangable and upgradable with Qseven modules – Secure investment and 2nd source supply

– Upgrade / downgrade of system solutions using different CPU modules

ARM on Qseven – your first in module technology

Q s e v e n

Target Applications

High-end Test and Measurement (Signal/Waveform Generation and Analyses) Machine/Industrial Vision (Automated Inspection, Identification) Tracking and Control (Avionics/Guidance, Radar/Sonar, Solar Tracking) Biological Vision (e.g. Cell-sorting and Analysis) Multi-channel full HD Video Encode/Decode/Transcode/Transrate

Q s e v e n

Why DSP + ARM® ?

Why DSP+ARM?

TI makes DSP programming easy for ARM developers:

• TI’s C6EZRun for code porting – Enables developers to easily run ARM code on a DSP without learning DSP code

• TI’s C6EZAccel library – Provides a library of more than 130 signal processing algorithms with ARM APIs to accelerate development time

DSP + ARM. Do more with less.

• DSPs are up to 60% more efficient for signal processing tasks such as FFTs, digital filtering and image analysis

• Frees ARM CPU resources for applications processing

• Increases overall system performance
