Clarity Design Introduces
Multimedia Applications Platform Based on
Marvell’s PXA310 Application Processor
CES, Las Vegas, NV – January 7, 2008 – Clarity Design
Inc. announced the release of its Multimedia
Applications Platform (MAP), based on the Marvell
third-generation XScale PXA310 application processor.
Potential applications include digital picture frames,
hand-held devices, kiosks, digital signage, multimedia
players and thin clients.
The MAP, developed in cooperation with Marvell, brings a
rich set of integrated peripheral and connectivity
interfaces, such as 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, USB,
10/100 Ethernet, color LCD panel support up through XGA
resolutions, touchscreen, serial port, and stereo audio
out. At Booth #30651 at CES 2008 in Las Vegas, Marvell
and Clarity Design will demonstrate the MAP integrated
into a digital picture frame (DPF), specifically
targeting the rapidly growing DPF market.
The MAP is available from Clarity Design not only to
help developers of digital picture frames, but also to
enable companies that are seeking to develop embedded
solutions based on the PXA310 with the integrated
wireless features of 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth running on
Linux, allowing for quick software development and
deployment of their solutions.
Tom Lupfer, President of Clarity Design, said "We have
worked very closely with Marvell to come up with the
PXA310-based MAP, which is ideally suited to a wide
variety of markets. We've combined the PXA310 running at
624MHz, wired and wireless connectivity (Ethernet, WiFi,
and Bluetooth), and versatile display support into a
compact platform suitable for picture frames, digital
signage and gaming applications. Clarity Design will
work with OEMs to tailor the MAP into
application-specific products, offering hardware design,
software development, and prototyping and production
services. As Marvell expands the PXA line of processors,
Clarity Design will add to its line of general-purpose
and application-specific platforms."
“By providing a truly optimized platform based on
Marvell’s high-performance and low-power application
processors and world leading wireless solutions with
Clarity Design’s optimized hardware and software
solutions, we believe it will be easier for developers
and OEMs to create new and innovative consumer
electronics applications and products and get them into
the marketplace faster,” said Jeff Krisa, Vice
President, Application Processor Business Unit, Mobile
Cellular Business Group, Marvell Semiconductor.
