June 5, 2012 - Adeneo Embedded announces Windows Embedded Compact 7 reference board support packages (BSPs), along with a full suite of support services, including customized support, training and development services, for the Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor-based community board, the BeagleBone. BeagleBone is a low-cost, high-expansion board that can either works stand-alone or acts as a USB or Ethernet connected expansion companion for BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard-xM boards, based on 720MHz Sitara MPU AM3359 with 256MB DDR2 memory. BeagleBone BSP developed by Adeneo Embedded is based on the latest version of the Texas Instruments “unified BSP” for Windows Embedded Compact 7 which supports TI ARM Cortex-A8 devices, including OMAP35x, AM335x, AM35x, AM37x, AM387x Sitara ARM MPUs and DaVinci DM37x and DM816x video processors. Through a strategic collaboration between TI and Adeneo Embedded, this unified BSP is available from Adeneo Embedded website since February 2012 Windows Embedded Compact 7 provides developers, designers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a powerful real-time OS and a full suite of development tools, enabling an integrated, streamlined development experience to speed devices to market. The Sitara AM335x platform used on the BeagleBone is a cost and performance optimized solution targeting portable, pocket-sized applications. Starting at $5 and consuming as low as 7 mW of power, the AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processors provide low power consumption while prolonging battery life and reducing heat emissions. Developers have access to a high performance processor with advanced 3D graphics capabilities, touch screen controller and sophisticated peripherals all on a single chip.
