Freescale Seminars Aim to Help Embedded Developers Speed Time To Revenue; 15-City Road Show Designed to Accelerate Networking, Consumer, Storage and Industrial Applications Based On PowerQUICC(TM) Reference Platforms.AUSTIN, Texas -- Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :FSL FSL - Formal Semantics Language. A language for compiler writing. ["A Formal Semantics for Computer Languages and its Application in a Compiler-Compiler", J.A. Feldman, CACM 9(1) (Jan 1966)]. [Sammet 1969, p. 641]. )(NYSE:FSL.B) is kicking off a coast-to-coast, 15-city seminar series in mid-May aimed at developers who want to accelerate time to market for embedded applications based on PowerQUICC(TM) communications processors containing a PowerPC(R) core. The free seminar series will provide embedded developers with in-depth information on one of Freescale's most popular communications processors -- the MPC (1) (Mobile PC) A handheld or laptop computer. See handheld computer, laptop computer and Ultra-Mobile PC. (2) (MultiPath Channel) See multipath. 8349E PowerQUICC II Pro device. Developers will learn how to leverage Freescale's scalable and versatile MPC8349E mITX reference platform. Available in the compact mini-ITX form factor, the reference platform is designed to help developers bring next-generation SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. and home networking, consumer electronics, content management and industrial control products to market quickly and at minimal cost. Seminar attendees will see live demonstrations of the MPC8349E mITX reference platform optimized for several high-growth markets: --Highly integrated, all-in-one networking equipment for small-to-medium businesses --Home media servers with network attached storage (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ) capabilities --Location-free access home networking/storage equipment --Industrial control devices with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity "Today's embedded system developers are engaged in a fiercely competitive race against time," said Jeff Timbs, director of marketing for Freescale's Digital Systems Division. "Freescale understands that it's all about time-to-market in content management and delivery platforms for embedded markets. We've designed our seminar series to help developers rapidly transform Freescale's MPC8349E reference platform into their next revenue-generating applications. This seminar will showcase the ease of development, as well as the breadth of solutions already available from our reference design partners." The PowerQUICC II Pro seminars are available free of charge to embedded system developers. The seminars are scheduled in the following cities: -- May 16: Irvine, Calif. -- May 17: Austin, Texas -- May 18: Los Angeles; Seattle -- May 23: Chicago; Minneapolis; Philadelphia; Phoenix -- May 24: Dallas; Washington, D.C. -- May 25: Milwaukee -- June 6: Boston; Raleigh, N.C..; San Jose, Calif. -- June 8: Ottawa For more details and to register for a seminar, visit www.freescale.com/quiccseminars. About the MPC8349E processor The MPC8349E PowerQUICC II Pro processor integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC core and advanced features such as DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory memory, dual PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS.
