The well-known ARM development kit supplier Witech Embedded recently introduced another high-end ARM Cortext-A8 Linux&Android dev kit based on Samsung S5PV210 microcontroller targeting multi-media terminal, consumer electronic devices and invehicle infotainment systems, with the name of OK210-A.
Just like the elder OK6410, OK210-A is also designed to be ALL-READY. “By ALL-READY we mean the OK210-A is delivered with everything ready-to-go. The OK210-A carries almost everything that customers would need, and everything is already working”, says the CEO of Witech Embedded, “Together with the OK210-A we provide board support packages for Embedded Linux and Android, the most popular embedded operating systems in the current world, which includes complete drivers and sample programs for all on-board resources. Customers can either use them directly, or customize their own systems on the basis of provided resources”.
“Purpose of introducing such all-ready products is to help customers to simplify their development cycle, shorten time-to-market and avoid design risks”, said the CEO.
