February 9 2010 – Lauterbach and Cortus are pleased to announce that the Lauterbach TRACE32® Power Tools now fully support the Cortus APS3 family of processors.

The power of Lauterbach’s TRACE32 Power Tools is now available for the Cortus APS3 family of ultra low power embedded CPUs. Non-intrusive debugging over JTAG is supported giving engineers full visibility of program execution and profiling analysis enhancing product development times. It offers full support for the Cortus On-Chip debugging hardware and all processor features.

Lauterbach’s TRACE32 PowerDebug for the Cortus APS3 family of processors provides an ultra-high-speed interface accelerating the entire debug process including code download, flash programming and source code debugging. The tools can be connected to either Windows or Linux hosts via USB 2.0 or Ethernet 10/100/1000. The TRACE32 PowerView software includes a very efficient and user friendly HLL debugger for C and C++ as well as awareness for real-time operating systems.

The Cortus APS3 processor family are designed specifically for embedded systems. They feature a tiny silicon footprint (the same size as an 8051), very low power consumption, high code density and high performance. The ecosystem around the APS3 is rich and well developed, it includes a full development environment (for C and C++), peripherals typical of embedded systems, bus bridges to ensure easy interfacing to other IP and system support and functions such as cache and memory management units. For the most demanding designs the APS3 can be used in a multi-core configuration. The APS3 processor core is currently in production in a range of products from security applications to ultra low power RF designs.

Duisburg, Germany – 9 February, 2010 – mimoOn, a pioneer in LTE software implementation for programmable radio platforms, announced that it will be demonstrating LTE for pico base stations at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next week.  mimoOn will showcase its advanced LTE PHY implementation running on TI’s DSPs, February 15-18, 2010, in the mimoOn booth 2B17 at MWC.

mimoOn’s mi!PicoPHY™ base station software has been integrated on TI’s TMS320TCI648x highly flexible, scalable processors targeting LTE products.  The fully featured PHY software is certified based on the latest versions of the 3GPP standards.  It is modular and written in ANSI-C language, which allows flexibility and scalability with advanced algorithms such as high-performance channel estimators and MIMO detectors.  In addition, the mi!PicoPHY™ is designed for low memory and power consumption which are critical design requirements for small form factor base stations.  TI’s C648x series of DSPs offer equipment manufacturers the advantages of design and code reuse, since the processors can be scaled to meet both the intensive processing demands of macro base stations, as well as the cost constraints of the residential femtocell.

According to Thomas Kaiser, CEO of mimoOn, “As we enter 2010, we’re observing numerous trials globally and increasing numbers of base station shipments for LTE. mimoOn’s offering with TI allows customers to benefit from advanced signal processing, industry leading processors, and market scalability all in the same package.”

“The pre-integration of the mimoOn’s mi!PicoPHY™ LTE software onto TI’s field proven wireless base station processors allows customers to get to market quickly and reliably in the rapidly evolving Pico LTE space,” said Kathy Brown, business manager, wireless base station infrastructure business, Texas Instruments.
