The technology bundle combines Freescale's MPC5200 platform based on the PowerPC(R) core and SimpleDevices' award-winning SimpleWare Auto embedded software. The companies will demonstrate the solution in the Universal Electronics booth (#21561, South Hall) at CES 2006, Jan. 5 - 8. "Freescale's leadership in the processor market, combined with SimpleDevices' feature-rich software, allows our customers to introduce a wide range of best-in-class digital media music/photo/video solutions for the automotive market," said Paul Arling, chairman and chief executive officer at Universal Electronics. "Our relationship with Freescale represents our commitment to introduce complete and highly integrated hardware and software platforms to help our customers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs) and tier-1 suppliers get to market fast." The collaborative solution is designed to shorten development cycles and accelerate time-to-market for solutions developed around the MPC5200 embedded processor, based on the PowerPC architecture. The mobileGT reference platform with the SimpleWare Auto embedded software is complete with a wide variety of I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output and the hardware necessary to develop scalable software solutions for advanced digital media players. "The convergence of digital media between the car and home is occurring rapidly," said Anand Ramamoorthy, general manager of Freescale's Infotainment, Multimedia and Telematics Division. "Teaming with Universal Electronics extends the mobileGT platform's advanced digital media capabilities to allow simultaneous playing/ripping of music in the car, support for multiple portable media players and network synchronization of the home PC with the car."
