Intrinsyc Software has been tapped to provide Windows Mobile 5.0 support for TI's OMAP2420 application processor that targets cellphones and other mobile devices. Intrinsyc will support TI's OMAP software development platform through a "fully customized" iQuickStart 3G Program based on Intrinsyc's telephony related intellectual property, the company says.

Intrinsyc says it has been selected to be one of TI's OMAP Technology Centers, supporting TI OEMs with expertise and assistance in creating next generation mobile devices based on the OMAP platform. The company expects to release its Windows Mobile 5.0 BSP (board support package) for TI's OMAP2420 SDP (software development platform) early next year.

According to TI, the OMAP2420, first introduced at last year's 3GSM World Congress, is a single-chip mobile phone-oriented applications processor that supports all cellular standards. It integrates a 330 MHz ARM1136 processor with a 220 MHz TMS320C55x DSP. The device also includes a 2D/3D graphics accelerator, imaging and video accelerator, high-performance system interconnects, and a variety of industry-standard peripheral interfaces (see block diagram, below).

The integrated imaging and video accelerator supports high end features such as 4+ megapixel still cameras, VGA-quality video at 30 fps, and both analog and digital TV video output, according to TI. The chip also boasts extensive power management features.

Intrinsyc CEO Derek Spratt said, "We are delighted to be working on such a compelling mobile handset project with wireless market leader Texas Instruments."
