• Arriba Embedded Linux Edition enhances developers’ ability to create and verify time-critical embedded software drivers for QuickLogic’s companion devices for Intel’s PXA2xx processor.

QuickLogic Corporation (NADAQ: QUIK), the pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs) and a leading supplier of uWatt FPGAs, along with Viosoft®, a provider of fully integrated embedded Linux software solutions, today announced support of QuickLogic’s Wi-Fi bridge and HDD controller solutions for Intel’s PXA2xx® embedded processor with the Arriba Embedded Linux Edition.

Software and driver development has increasingly become a critical element in embedded system development. Not only is having a hardware platform for development a necessity, but also having a software platform that allows engineers to quickly test and debug source code has become crucial. QuickLogic’s hardware development platform and Viosoft’s Arriba debugger provide the hardware and software combination needed to rapidly develop Linux-based mobile embedded applications.

The Arriba Embedded Linux Edition for the QuickLogic Mobile Applications Platform comes pre-configured for Intel’s PXA270 Mainstone DVK system, and supports QuickLogic’s Mobile Applications Board (MAB) running under Embedded Linux. The development environment is customized for the development and deployment of device drivers, loadable modules and user-mode applications.

Among the feature rich functions of the Arriba Embedded Linux are:

• Source level debugger of kernel device driver (including init_module code), threads and processes from a single connection

• Debugging of device drivers without pre-empting the PXA270 servicing of external interrupts

• Graphical debugger GUI hosted on Linux and/or Windows® platforms

• Ability to import, configure and integrate various components of the Linux kernel with their applications code from a single desktop environment

• GNU cross-compiler and utilities targeted for the Intel PXA270 embedded processor

• An Embedded Linux Kernel and Filesystem image for the Mainstone evaluation board

“The challenge with developing applications and drivers for today’s embedded systems is the ability to debug multi-media applications at full system speeds,” said Hieu Tran, CEO and Chairman of Viosoft. “The integration of the Arriba Embedded Linux debugger with QuickLogic’s Wi-Fi and HDD Solution Packs completes the Linux package that customers are looking for in a development environment.”

“Arriba Embedded Linux provides our customers a rich and intuitive development environment to develop, debug and deploy mobile applications based upon QuickLogic’s Wi-Fi and HDD Solution Packs,” said Kevin Yee, Director of Business Development. “Now customers can effectively bring products to market more quickly for the portable and handheld markets.”
