Based on the Nexperia PNX1500 media processor

The reference design is based on a Nexperia PNX1500 media processor.The PNX1500 leverages a powerful C/C++ programmable TriMediaTM3260 CPU and runs a small real-time operating system enabling efficient and predictable response to real-time events. Independent, on-chip, I/O and coprocessing units capture and format datastream I/O and accelerate multimedia algorithms. A sophisticated memory hierarchy manages internal I/O and streamlines access to external memory.The PNX1500 also supports dynamic power man- agement, lowering power consumption and conserving battery charge.

Software/development tools

Available separately from Philips, the Nexperia Development Kit (NDK) gives developers a full suite of system software tools to develop applications for the PNX1500’s TriMedia CPU. It includes a compiler, debugger, A/V drivers, and example software.This compre- hensive software development environment dramatically lowers costs and reduces time-to-market by enabling development of multi- media applications entirely in the C and C++ programming languages. Application libraries for the PNX1500 are available from Philips and third parties; for a complete, up-to-date list, visit: www.semiconductors.philips.com/nexperia/application-libraries.
