Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced Linux kernel support for its TMS320C64x™ digital signal processors (DSPs) and multicore system-on-chips (SoCs) targeted for applications such as communications and mission critical infrastructure, medical diagnostics, and high-performance test and measurement. As customers move towards open source as a key element of their products, application developers can benefit from the availability of Linux on TI’s high-performance DSPs by having less software to develop, and focusing more on differentiating features and software in their applications.
