ARCA Licenses ARM926EJ-S Processor For Consumer Electronics SOC Development
ARCA will benefit from the widely supported ARM architecture to design feature-rich consumer solutions with complex software requirements for reduced time-to-market
CAMBRIDGE, UK – September 25, 2006 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (NASDAQ:ARMHY)] today announced that ARCA Technology Corporation (“ARCA”), one of the leading Chinese fabless design companies, has licensed the ARM926EJ-STM processor. This licensing agreement will enable ARCA to benefit from leading ARM® processor technology, as well as the ARM architecture’s established ecosystem, to accelerate the design of advanced SoC solutions with improved features for the consumer electronics market.
As consumers increasingly expect advanced features on modern consumer devices such as smart phones, MP3/MP4 players, PMPs and eBooks, the complexity of the software for consumer SoC design has grown significantly. To address this software development challenge, ARM not only provides technologies that enhance the processing performance but has also established a comprehensive ecosystem whereby its Partners can easily access all resources, tools and support essential to maintain and increase design efficiency.
“The growing demands of consumers has led the drive to develop SoC solutions that truly make a difference in terms of rich and dynamic performance, while speeding the design cycle and reducing risks,” said Dr. De-Lei Lee, CEO of ARCA. “By licensing the ARM926EJ-S processor, ARCA is able to incorporate our SoC design expertise with ARM’s leading technology to add more features into our SoC solutions for the consumer market, while also availing ourselves of the valuable resources provided by the ARM ecosystem.”
“The consumer electronics world is evolving rapidly as systems become more sophisticated and software workload increases significantly,” said Dr. Jun Tan, president of ARM China. “This licensing agreement not only empowers ARCA to fully utilize leading ARM technology for the diverse consumer market but is also an endorsement of ARM’s continuing commitment to work closely with our Partners and other third-party companies in China and throughout the world, to help leading fabless companies tackle SoC software development challenges.”
