HED licenses ARM processor for SoC designs

China-based CEC Huada Electronic Design Co. Ltd (HED) has licensed ARM922T processor for its system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. Through the ARM foundry program, HED will develop ARM technology-based SoC as China continues to experience increasing consumer demand for advanced electronic products.

The ARM922T hard macrocell is suitable for a wide range of platform Operating System-based applications. Based around the high-performance ARM9TDMI 32bit RISC CPU, the ARM922T processor features instruction and data caches, a memory management unit (MMU) to enable support for all major OS including Linux and WindowsCE. The ARM RealView developer suite provides a fully-featured development environment for all ARM Powered silicon, including those based on the ARM922T processor.

Prof. Wei-ping Liu, CEO of HED, said, "Utilizing the ARM922T processor through the ARM Foundry Program will substantially reduce our product development time. In addition, the ARM922T processor's performance, power consumption capabilities and efficiency of the software implementation using on chip memory will enable HED to offer technically advanced electronic products."
