Texas Instruments puts its trust in MPC Data 19/07/2004

As one of Texas Instruments leading European OMAP Technology Centres and one of only two MontaVista Premier Professional Services Partner, MPC Data were ideally placed to undertake development of a MontaVista Linux support package (LSP) for one of TI's latest mobile phone reference platforms.

This recently completed project provides a fully featured operating platform for the Texas Instrument's Persius 2 (P2) mobile phone reference design. MPC Data's brief was to port MontaVista's OMAP1610 LSP to the OMAP730 processor, supporting the various peripherals available on the P2 hardware with dynamic power management.
The key factor in this successful project was to delivery a good level of stability and this was addressed by adapting The Linux Test Project to guarantee stable kernel operation coupled with an automated driver test suite to assure correct operation of peripherals.

For further details of this project or to discuss TI OMAP development services, please contact Frank Breeze.
