Avision uses Tensilica Xtensa processor in scanner product.Tensilica, Inc. has announced that Avision has successfully designed the Xtensa configurable processor into an office image product that will be in volume production in the second half of this year. "We picked Tensilica's Xtensa processor because we liked the speed, low power and off-the-shelf development tools," stated Charlie Chou, Vice President of Avision Inc. "Rather than implement the entire image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished algorithm set in traditional hardwired RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; datapath, we extended the processor with additional instructions A charge given to a jury by a judge after the original instructions to explain the law and guide the jury in its decision making. Additional instructions are frequently needed after the jury has begun deliberations and finds that it has a question concerning the evidence, a that gave us excellent performance and required much less design time and fewer engineers. Xtensa helped us achieve rapid success in the development of the critical image processing chip." "We're very pleased that Avision selected the Xtensa processor for their imaging application and that we were able to help them achieve their aggressive time-to-volume goals," stated Bernie Rosenthal Bernie Rosenthal is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe, ex-girlfriend of Captain America. Bernie resided in New York City and was a glass blower. She later went to law school, graduated, and became a lawyer. , senior vice president of marketing and sales for Tensilica. Avision Inc., founded in 1991 and headquartered in Taiwan's Science-Based Industrial Park, is a manufacturer of image scanners and multi-function products. Avision currently has additional overseas manufacturing capabilities, and employs over 700 people worldwide. The company received ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001 certification in 1993 and ISO14001 certification in 2000. Tensilica was founded in July 1997 to address the growing need for optimized, application-specific microprocessor solutions in high-volume embedded applications An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. . With a configurable and extensible microprocessor core called Xtensa, Tensilica is the only company that has automated and patented the time-consuming process of generating a customized microprocessor core along with a complete software development tool environment, producing new configurations in a matter of hours. |
