ARM (London Stock Exchange: ARM; Nasdaq: ARMH) Recently announced that Hisilicon, AMLOGIC, Zhongtianke (Availink, Haier) (Haier) Waiting for the ARM processor authorization for its next-generation system (SOC) chip designed for digital home entertainment applications such as set-top boxes (STB) and digital television (DTV). Among these companies, there are several options for the ARM Cortex-A9 processor and MALI graphics processors. This series of licensing agreements marks the mainstream leadership of the processor architecture in China's digital home entertainment fields in the ARM processor architecture.
The State Council of State Councils held in January 2010 made a decision to promote China's three-network integration, and proposed a comprehensive implementation of three-network integration development in 2015. Under this decision, China's digital TV market ushered in unprecedented and huge development opportunities. From a terminal point of view, three network integration puts higher requirements for high performance, system scalability, intermediate parts and related software. These are the advantages of the ARM Cortex-A9 processor, which naturally has become the best choice for many Chinese digital TV semiconductor companies.
ARM has always been committed to providing the industry's leading, high-performance, low-power processor IP, and the company's good financial situation also guarantees the company's ability to continue to invest in product development, provide rich processor IP series, meeting the market. Different needs. Take the ARM Cortex series processor as an example to meet from the embedded market (Cortex-M series processor), real-time application market (Cortex-R series processor) to high performance application processing market (Cortex-A series processor) Almost all embedded applications. The Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 series processors can support products based on different operating systems to meet the needs of a variety of digital home entertainment applications including digital TV and set-top boxes, and they have received their partners in the world and the Chinese market. welcome. Take the ARM Cortex-A9 multi-core processor in the leading market with the same type of embedded CPU architecture as an example. Since the release, more than 30 partners have been licensed, many of which are used for next-generation digital home entertainment. Development of on-chip system. Its unparalleled superior performance (2.5DMIPS / MHz), a wide range of technical indicators such as excellent multi-core architecture and ultra-low power consumption are unable to surpass in the short term.
Strong ecosystem support is one of the main reasons why ARM architecture has achieved great success in digital home entertainment market, and rich software support from this ecosystem also brings extremely for digital home entertainment system developers who choose ARM architecture. Large development facilitates. This includes:
Android. Open source intermediates have set off a boom in the consumer electronics market. The Android operating system that has achieved great success in the smartphone market is also favored by developers in the field of digital home applications. There have been more and more companies at home and abroad. Develop digital home entertainment products and applications based on Android and ARM processor platforms. The ARM architecture is the only "original ecological" architecture that Android supports, without any modifications, developers can easily transplant the Android to the ARM architecture-based digital TV platform. ARM has also established a software R & D center in Shanghai in Shanghai. One of the main tasks is to develop basic software components related to family entertainment applications, providing adequate power and professional support for the acceleration promotion of Android and other open source software. At present, multiple ARM's SIP partners have launched SOCs that support the latest Android operating system version (Fro-Yo, Android 2.2). These partners will continue to follow into the upcoming Google Android operating system version, which is Gingerbread and Hoenycomb.
· Adobe systems. ARM cooperates with Adobe to make similar support from mobile devices to home entertainment equipment on Flash10 / Air to ensure that consumers can enjoy a superior multimedia experience on home entertainment equipment. In fact, Adobe has invested a lot of technical resources on the ARM architecture, making ARMs to seamlessly support Flash10 / Air, and enjoy a primary embedded processor architecture with the PC-level user experience.
· Nokia 's QT. A large-scale performance optimization work that is running on the ARM Cortex-A series processor and the MALI 3D graphics processor has also been completed, so that users can provide users with a coherent experience from mobile applications to home entertainment applications.
Mr. Cai Jijiang, secretary general of the Shenzhen Semiconductor Industry Association, said: "The overall translation of digital TV has brought huge demand, and also brought the opportunity to reshuffle the industrial chain, Haisi, Guoqin and China Tianlian The next-generation SOC is designed to use the world's advanced CPU kernel and technology design, indicating that domestic chip companies have stood on the same running line in product research and development. Future digital home entertainment products have more complex features and larger software ecosystems I hope that domestic companies pay more attention to innovation and industrial chain integration capabilities, and I hope that ARM will provide more help to domestic IC companies, support the development of domestic semiconductor industries. "
Mr. Wu Xiongang, general manager and sales vice president of China, said: "ARM has dominated the dominant position in China's digital home entertainment class IC processor. The superior performance of the AM processor and the powerful ecosystem support capacity is widely recognized by domestic IC companies. We are very happy to have so many China's leading chip design companies to choose ARM architecture to develop its next-generation digital home entertainment films. ", Technology area
