NEC authorized by the ARM11 processor to enhance the security of mobile devices

ARM company announced the day before, the global LSI system solutions provider NEC latest become ARM partner, ARM1176JZF-S processor, CoreSight technology and PrimeCell two level cache memory controller authorization. NEC Electronics will integrate these technologies into advanced mobile devices. This license agreement allows NEC to enhance the security of its mobile phone audio performance, while providing high-end mobile phone system LSI, such as: the need for video processing capabilities of the mobile phone. In addition, due to the ARM1176JZF-S processor and two level cache controller with ARM AMBA3 AXITM technology to adapt, so that NEC can also avoid the development of SoC bus bottlenecks in the case of.

According to the introduction, through an integrated floating point processor, the ARM1176JZF-S processor was developed and optimized for 3D image. The floating point processor ensures smooth, image rich applications running on mobile devices. ARM1176JZF-S processor supports ARM intelligent energy management (IEMTM) technology, which can reduce power consumption by up to 60% when used in conjunction with ARM's Artisan low power library. This allows the ARM1176JZF-S processor to be able to run fast and responsive applications with a wide range of applications, and to ensure that the battery life is not affected.

The general manager of NEC third system operation group mobile system Masakazu Yamashina said: "in the application of mobile devices, low power LSI solution to ensure a longer time, this point is very important. ARM1176JZF-S processor is the best choice for those who want to be able to provide low power consumption of the processor and can easily develop audio security features. By licensing this technology, we will be able to produce solutions for those who want to produce these features of mobile phone manufacturers."

ARM KK President Takafumi Nishijima said: "the consumer demand growth, mobile applications have become more and more advanced, which makes the world's leading companies including NEC electronic, all provide rich, dynamic performance and low power consumption in seeking solutions to development. The growing popularity of the ARM1176JZF-S processor in the wireless field provides the ability to run future applications, and the integration of effective power management and debugging of the intuitive peripherals. This license agreement shows that the next generation of ARM technology will continue to expand in the market."

Uses ARM1176JZF-S ARM Jazelle processor technology for embedded Java operation effectively optimization, this is also an essential requirement for mobile applications. In addition, the ARM PrimeCell level two cache controller solutions for the integration of TrustZone technology, and can provide different operating system (for mobile devices such as smart mobile phone best platform) scheme of portable product security solutions compatible. CoreSight technology for the system on chip (SoC) platform provides a complete solution for debugging and tracking, so that NEC can accelerate the complexity of SoC design time to market. The ARM1176JZF-S processor is compatible with a RealView Developer Suite solution in the RealView DEVELOP family of tools, which helps embedded electronics designers to shorten the time to market.
