Accelent Systems Readies Product Support for Future Processors Based on the Intel XScale Technology; Schema BIOS Configurator Supports Intel's Upcoming ``Bulverde'' Chip.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. Spring 2004 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2004 Intel Developer Forum - Booth Number: 747 - Accelent Systems, a leading enabler of embedded devices, today announced Schema(TM) BIOS Configurator supports the upcoming Intel processors, code named "Bulverde." Schema BIOS Configurator is a front-end for Microsoft Platform Builder enabling developers to create images necessary for Windows CE devices. It facilitates rapid development of production-ready Board Support Packages (BSP BSP Bromsulphalein, a dye used in the study of liver function. See also sulfobromophthalein clearance test. ) for embedded devices including PDAs, PDA-phones, Cell phones and many other vertical applications. Consisting of over 100 configurable source device drivers including OAL OAL Office of Administrative Law OAL Overall Length (see LOA) OAL Open Audio License (EFF) OAL Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa (Portugese: Lisbon Astronomical Observatory) and boot loader plus multiple reference hardware schematics, Schema BIOS Configurator is a powerful tool. It saves time and money spent on developing and maintaining an embedded device. Schema BIOS Configurator supports multiple Intel processors based on Intel(R) XScale(R) Technology and peripheral chips. CoreLinx, a smart configuration tool within Schema, allows developers to configure the source code to a unique schematic design. This means developers can focus efforts on hardware dependencies, rather than re-engineering the OAL, device drivers and boot loader. "Cell phone and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). users are demanding more functionality from these devices increasing the complexity and shortening the life cycle," said Gadi Singer, vice president and general manager of Intel's Cellular and Handheld Group. "Accelent's Schema BIOS Configurator helps deliver that functionality in a timely manner for device manufacturers." Schema BIOS Configurator with "Bulverde" support provides OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) A contract manufacturer that uses its own designs and intellectual property (IP). See contract manufacturer. the following key features and benefits: -- Reduces the amount of time spent on upfront R&D. -- Provides production-ready boot loader, OAL and device drivers that support "Bulverde."Includes power management, support for suspend/resume and required remote update utilities required for a "Bulverde" powered device. Carl Bock, COO for Accelent Systems, states, "we feel "Bulverde's" new features that help enable wireless devices to capture higher quality pictures, extend battery life and deliver faster multimedia performance are ideal for our customers, OEMs and ODMs developing PDAs, PDA-phones and cell phones. Our customers expect Accelent Systems to provide development tools with the latest technology. We continue to meet their expectations by supporting the latest Intel XScale Technology based processors."
