Tokyo, Japan. October 3, 2007 - eSOL, a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions,
announced today that Kodak has selected its PrKERNELv4 Real-time Operating
System (RTOS) Suites and eBinder Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
for their EasyShare Z1275 zoom digital camera.
PrKERNELv4 multi-tasking kernel, PrFILE2 FAT compatible file system, and
PrUSB/Device USB peripheral driver with Mass Storage Class have been incorporated
into the Z1275 model. eBinder was used as the primary integrated development
environment that features a compiler, debugger and analysis tools to facilitate
the application development for the Z1275.
To date, Kodak has used PrEKRNELv4 and eBinder for their EasyShare product
lines such as EasyShare V570, V550 and V530. Because of its functionality,
performance, and ease of existing application migration, Kodak has decided
to extend the use of eSOL's software to this leading Z1275 model. Additionally,
PrFILE2 and PrUSB/Device are being used for the first time with the existing
firmware already integrated with PrKERNELv4 which helps reduce Kodak's
overall development time. PrFILE2 serves as the main file system to ensure
data format compatibility with PC via SecureDigital cards, and PrUSB/Device
enables the camera to directly connect to USB host devices such as PC.
PrKERNELv4 offers task and memory management for real time applications
and serves as the primary foundation within the Z1275. As the technology
of the digital camera becomes more complex and the development time increasingly
shorter, the accuracy of the development is very critical. Kodak has selected
eBinder because of its proven track record in this area with their line
of digital cameras.
For the EasyShare Z1275, Kodak also leverages the latest DaVinci™ digital
media processor from Texas Instruments. The TMS320DM35x processor is specifically
tuned for digital cameras to deliver high-definition video performance
and double the battery life. The DM35x processor consists of an integrated
video processing subsystem, an MPEG-4-JPEG co-processor (MJCP), an ARM926EJ-S
core and peripherals. For more information see http://www.ti.com/dm355pr .
The Z1275 model is currently marketed in Europe, North America and Asia
Pacific (excluding Japan), and sells for $249 MSRP in the United States.
In addition to a 12-megapixel sensor, the new Z1275 camera features a 2.5-inch
LCD screen, 5x optical zoom, ISO sensitivity up to 3200 (at 3.1 MP or lower)
and HD video recording at 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second. The
Kodak camera also boasts impressive battery life, delivering 80 minutes
of high-definition video capture and display powered by two AA batteries.
"We are very pleased that Kodak continues to choose our software,"
said Nobuyuki Ueyama, Executive Vice President of eSOL Co., Ltd. "This
demonstrates their confidence that our products are effective, robust and
reliable. We know that maintaining a position of a top embedded software
vendor involves development of high quality software and providing excellent
customer support, and we strive to offer the products and services to meet
the increasing demand of our customers."
