Embedded versions of portable chip from Intel

BANGALORE: Even before the official launch of the embedded ‘avatar’ of its low power mini processor, the Atom, Indian developers have rolled out compelling products fuelled by the new Intel chip family.

At the formal India launch of the two embedded processors families this week — the Z5xx series for hand held portable devices and the N270 family aimed at low power, fixed location applications — ready-to-market products ranging from universal hand-held terminals for branchless banking applications to remote capture and transmission of patient medical data to ‘smart’ video surveillance solutions were on display... testifying as much to the agility of Indian embedded systems developers, as to the popularity of the lilliputian processor chip.

“Indian design houses are a key part of the global embedded and communications scene,” said Sanat Rao, Intel’s Marketing Director for the Embedded and Communications group in India., He told The Hindu on Thursday that to kickstart the developer ecosystem the company’s own design teams in India had created ready-to-use reference designs for products like Point-of-Sale terminals and video surveillance.
