Bitboys, Developer of Mobile Graphics Processors, Joins OCP-IP
PORTLAND, ORE. and ESPOO, FINLAND — March 8, 2004 — Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP), today announced that Bitboys, a provider of mobile graphic solutions, has become the latest member of the organization. Joining OCP-IP allows Bitboys to enhance IP core reusability, reducing design time and lowering both cost and risk. Bitboys plans to use OCP in their Acceleon™ family of graphics processors for embedded and mobile devices.
OCP-IP is a leading industry association delivering a common standard for intellectual property (IP) core interfaces, or sockets, that facilitate “plug-and-play” System-on-Chip (SoC) design. OCP-IP members receive free training and support, free software tools, and free documentation, enabling them to focus on the challenges of SoC design. Leveraging OCP-IP’s infrastructure eliminates the need to internally design, document, train and evolve a proprietary standard and support tools, freeing up critical resources for the real design work and providing enormous cost savings.
“As a provider of leading-edge solutions to improve graphics visualization on mobile phones, Bitboys recognized the need for an industry standard socket that is not limited or tied to specific application,” said Petri Nordlund, CTO of Bitboys. “There is tremendous value in using OCP as the industry standard protocol, and we are proud to support OCP-IP’s industry leading efforts.”
“The addition of Bitboys to our membership roster clearly illustrates that OCP is the industry socket standard,” said Ian Mackintosh, president of OCP-IP. “We are delighted to have them on board.”
