M-Systems' flash disk products designed onto development platforms for Au1 core products from AMD.M-Systems (Nasdaq:FLSH) has announced that DiskOnChip Millennium Plus has been designed onto the Alchemy Pb1500 and the newly introduced Alchemy Pb1100 development boards from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD). With up to 64MB of persistent storage for the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , user data and applications, including advanced protection and security features, one time programming (OTP (1) (One Time Programmable) Refers to programming content or logic into chips such as EPROMs and EEPROMs, which cannot be reversed. See antifuse. (2) (One Time P ) areas and a 16-bit data interface, the DiskOnChip Millennium Plus is the fastest, most innovative and cost-effective flash disk solution today. The Alchemy Pb1500 and Pb1100 development boards from AMD provide examples of hardware systems design using the high performance, low power Alchemy Au1500 and Alchemy Au1100 processors from AMD and are highly versatile systems that serve multiple purposes for chip evaluation and software development. The Au1100 is targeted at the Mobile Information Appliances (IAs). These IAs include Web pads, telematics, PDAs and multimedia handheld computing devices. "The development of these platforms between the two companies is designed to offer our customers the latest in flash disk technology, operating system support and AMD's MIPS-based processor performance to address the needs of the mobile market," said Chuck Schouw, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , M-Systems Inc. "AMD provides advanced, highly integrated MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. technology-based processors for the non-PC Internet appliance market--both wired and wireless," said Yuval Sofer sofer or sopher In Judaism, a scholar-teacher of the 5th–2nd centuries BC who transcribed, edited, and interpreted the Bible. The first sofer was Ezra, who, with his disciples, initiated a tradition of rabbinical scholarship that is still central in , associate vice president, business development, M-Systems. "By offering compelling performance for power consumption under 1 watt, AMD continues to generate advanced designs for this market and complements our expanding work in this area." "Working together with M-Systems, we are advancing board development for our customers, fostering growth of the MIPS ecosystem and driving to market innovative products," said Phil Pompa, vice president of marketing, personal connectivity solutions group, AMD. "M-Systems' DiskOnChip Millennium Plus is an innovative data storage solution, specifically designed to meet the demands of our target market and customers, and port seamlessly to our board, thus expediting time to market." Samples and evaluation boards for the Au1000, Au1500 and Au1100 products by AMD are available for designers. |
