SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) for NetSilicon's NS9750 NET+ARM(R) microprocessor. The SDK will enable NetSilicon customers to quickly and easily implement embedded Microsoft Windows CE .NET applications on the NS9750. "Windows CE .NET has grown in popularity and is now being used beyond mobile handheld devices in network-attached applications," said Tim Counihan, vice president of marketing, NetSilicon. "With this partnership, we're extending our ability to serve applications where Windows CE .NET is used such as embedded thin clients, data collection devices, digital cameras, smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs)." NetSilicon customers now have access to a Windows CE .NET SDK and its associated development tools on the company's high performance ARM9-based NS9750 processor. Based on the ARM926EJ-S core and integrating an Ethernet, LCD, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , and PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). controller, the NS9750 provides the features, performance and integration necessary to easily implement embedded Windows CE .NET applications. NetSilicon's ARM-9 based NS9750 is the highest performance, most integrated NET+ARM processor available. The processor's MMU (Memory Management Unit) The part of the computer that governs memory access. Either part of the CPU chip or housed on separate chips, the MMU controls memory partitions and virtual memory. See memory and virtual memory. MMU - Memory Management Unit , USB, Ethernet, and LCD controllers make it an excellent Windows CE .NET target for customers developing in that environment. "While most of our customers opt for the royalty free NET+Works development kit for the fastest time to market and easiest development path, customers with significant experience and investment in Windows CE .NET can also now easily use the NS9750," Counihan added. "FS Forth is recognized for their expertise with Windows CE .NET and has been a leader in the embedded space since the market's inception. We are pleased to extend our relationship with the company." "NetSilicon's NS9750 microprocessor is an outstanding tool for implementing embedded Windows CE .NET applications," said Klaus Flesch, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
