Based on the Nexperia PNX1500 media processor
The reference design is based on a Nexperia PNX1500 media
processor.The PNX1500 leverages a powerful C/C++ programmable
TriMediaTM3260 CPU and runs a small real-time operating system
enabling efficient and predictable response to real-time events.
Independent, on-chip, I/O and coprocessing units capture and format
datastream I/O and accelerate multimedia algorithms. A sophisticated
memory hierarchy manages internal I/O and streamlines access to
external memory.The PNX1500 also supports dynamic power man-
agement, lowering power consumption and conserving battery charge.
Software/development tools
Available separately from Philips, the Nexperia Development Kit
(NDK) gives developers a full suite of system software tools to
develop applications for the PNX1500's TriMedia CPU. It includes a
compiler, debugger, A/V drivers, and example software.This compre-
hensive software development environment dramatically lowers
costs and reduces time-to-market by enabling development of multi-
media applications entirely in the C and C++ programming languages.
Application libraries for the PNX1500 are available from Philips and
third parties; for a complete, up-to-date list, visit:
