Longmont, Colorado, March 30, 2010 – Kozio, Inc. (www.kozio.com) today announced the expansion of its in-system diagnostics solution to support the new OMAP™ 4 platform from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). Kozio is the trusted technology leader for enabling the fastest path to reliable hardware for embedded designs through in-system diagnostics, which includes at-speed functional tests with interactive and automated interfaces. With more than one million lines of code used today by leading mobile product manufacturers and leveraging their strong experience with OMAP 3 processor diagnostics, Kozio delivers support for the OMAP 4 platform and surrounding technologies including displays, cameras and more. Users of the OMAP 4 platform are now able to take full advantage of Kozio’s kDiagnostics® Design Suite to simplify the development process. This packaged circuit board test solution requires no design changes or extra equipment, and eliminates the need for OMAP 4 platform developers to write their own test code. Using kDiagnostics, an OMAP 4 platform-specific validation check list is produced for the respective developer in just minutes. The kDiagnostics Design Suite is usable across all product phases, which enables customers to get to market quickly with trusted, tested hardware.
“Next-generation mobile designs are becoming increasingly complex and competitive, requiring more advanced tools that speed customers’ time to market for new and differentiated products,” said Robert Tolbert, director of OMAP platform marketing, TI. “With Kozio’s expanded support for the OMAP 4 platform, customers can quickly and easily develop new mobile devices and applications that deliver the high performance consumers demand.”
