Mentor Embedded Inflexion UI software
is available on ST's SPEAr processors
STMicroelectronics has made available the Mentor Embedded
Inflexion User Interface (UI) software product on its ARM
core based SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture)
family of processors.
"The availability of Mentor Embedded Inflexion UI
on ST's family of SPEAr embedded microprocessors will allow
users to quickly create dynamic product UIs on SPEAr processors,"
stated Loris Valenti, Group VP and General Manager, Computer
Systems Division STMicroelectronics. "The Inflexion
UI can be used on our SPEAr 320 processors, which run on
ARM A926EJ-S, and will also be available shortly on the
newest SPEAr1300 ARM-CortexA9 family with its powerful Open
GL/ES graphics acceleration."
STMicroelectronics says that from 3D consumer UIs to specialized
2D UIs in industrial and medical products, the Inflexion
UI software allows developers to quickly implement their
UI using a drag-and-drop approach via the Inflexion UI Express
PC tool, and then run this UI on an efficient and powerful
engine. The popular Inflexion product is available on Android,
Linux and Nucleus.
"The availability of Inflexion on the SPEAr embedded
microprocessors will greatly accelerate UI development by
pairing our excellent tools with a well-designed processor,"
stated Glenn Perry, General Manager of Mentor Graphics Embedded
Software Division "The SPEAr processor family targets
a broad range of applications, from wireless access devices,
printers, security systems to medical and diagnostic equipment,
so having customized UIs for human to machine interface
is critical."
The SPEAr devices combine one or two advanced ARM926 processor
cores and Dual Cortex A9 cores with memory interfaces, and
a large set of IP blocks delivering connectivity, communication,
and audio/video functions for a broad range of applications.
