Bsquare Corporation (NASDAQ: BSQR), the leading software solutions
provider to the global embedded device community, today announced the
availability of an optimized Microsoft(R) Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3
board support package (BSP) for the Texas Instruments Incorporated
(TI) OMAP(TM) 3 evaluation module (EVM). For a live demonstration of
the new software running on the OMAP35x EVM with a Microsoft
Silverlight(TM)-based point-of-sale application, visit the Microsoft
booth #400 at the Embedded Systems Conference exhibition held
September 22-23 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston.
The new Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 BSP ships with OpenGL(R) ES 2.0
technology that takes advantage of the TI OMAP35x 3D PowerVR(TM) SGX
graphics engine, which allows OEMs to use advanced Silverlight for
Windows Embedded user interface (UI) solutions on the TI hardware.
"Bsquare's BSP allows us to differentiate our OMAP 3 platform for a
wide range of device manufacturers who want the benefits of speed and
high performance coupled with rich Internet applications, immersive
user experience and seamless connectivity to other Windows PCs,
servers and online services," said Gerard Andrews, OMAP 3 product
line manager at TI.
"With Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 and the TI OMAP3 platform as
building blocks, OEMs gain a significant time-to-market advantage.
Using familiar development tools and leveraging the high-performance
graphics and advanced multimedia support the new BSP enables, OEMs
and ODMs can create highly differentiated devices that feature
compelling experiences," said Raj Khera, Bsquare's vice president of
products.
The new BSP also supports Internet Explorer Embedded, Microsoft
Office and PDF Viewers and Tencent's QQ Messenger Client. Bsquare is
a licensing distributor of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 and offers
Microsoft's complete line of software products for embedded systems
to OEMs in North America.
The Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 BSP will be available for free in Q4
2009 when purchasing a TI OMAP35x EVM.
For customers who want to get started immediately, a Windows Embedded
CE 6.0 R2 BSP can be downloaded for free at www.bsquare.com/omap3.
