BitSim launches ARM based Qt platform

June 22, 2009 -- BitSim has developed an ARM based system running Linux and Qt. The system hosts a range of interfaces, including: radio communication, USB, ethernet, Compact Flash-card, 2D graphics display accelerator and a generic FPGA interface. The hardware serves as a base for future projects, and a good starting point for prototyping and technology evaluation.

The inclusion of an FPGA on the board enables high performance data processing. It also makes it possible to add new interfaces to the system without having to do major changes to the interfaces surrounding the ARM CPU.

The Linux based software environment makes it possible to develop both drivers and user applications in a quick and efficient manner. The open source nature of the platform gives full transparency, making debugging, enhanching and customizing easy.

The Qt framework, available from Nokia Qt Software, allows developers to quickly prototype, develop and deploy embedded software projects. Qt makes it easy to develop advanced applications with modern user interfaces. BitSim's activities surrounding Qt also involves developing applications, Qt seminars, training as well as advanced Qt solutions such as specialized display drivers.
