Freescale entered the netbook market in January with the introduction of the i.MX515 processor and a netbook reference design. The solution is designed to enable consumer products that deliver gigahertz performance, graphics and eight hours of battery life between charges.
Developed jointly with Pegatron, the reference design includes Canonical's Ubuntu operating system based on Linux technology. Freescale said it now has expanded its netbook ecosystem, adding support for additional operating systems from Android Open Source Project, Phoenix Technologies and Xandros, as well as 3G connectivity capabilities via collaboration with Wavecom and Option. Freescale plans to enable 3G connectivity by providing hardware and software support for data modules optimized for the i.MX515 applications processor.
"Demand from third parties to partner with Freescale in the growing netbook market has been tremendous," said Glen Burchers, marketing director for Freescale's Consumer Segment. "Freescale is taking dead aim at the netbook space by assembling an outstanding portfolio of technologies and partners. As a result, we expect that a wide range of netbook models based on Freescale technology will be available for consumers in the second half of this year."
Freescale said its expanded netbook ecosystem now includes:
- The Android platform: an open software stack that includes everything a manufacturer or operator needs to build a mobile device
- Phoenix HyperSpace: an instant-on operating environment that enables extended battery life and smart network connectivity
- Wireless connectivity capabilities from Option, a provider of wireless broadband technology used by telecom operators and OEMs worldwide
- Wireless connectivity capabilities from Wavecom, provider of embedded wireless technology for machine-to-machine communication
Freescale's netbook reference design is now available, the company noted in a release.
