As I'm sitting here on the last working day before Xmas, I'm so happy to be working here at Tensilica and blogging away. There's so much happening that I almost can write an entry every day. I'll be back at work the week between Xmas and New Years, getting ready for CES and other things happening next year.

Look at Android-Driven Home Entertainment. MIPS Technologies and Tensilica just announced a joint system-on-a-chip alliance that's designed to accelerate the deployment of the open-source Android operating system in home entertainment devices. (MIPS already has its own Android distribution focused on the same goals.) At CES the companies will be demonstrating the potential of their joint alliance for everything from Android-based "mobile wireless phones to low-cost digital picture frames, high-definition DTVs, set-top boxes, Blu-ray disc players, and more," as they note in their announcement.

Only 4 DSPs were cited as the top electronic products of 2009 - and the ConnX D2 was one of them! The ConnX D2 DSP engine delivers outstanding 16-bit fixed point "out of the box" performance on compiled C code, without the need for assembly code optimization. This allows SOC development teams to have greater flexibility in resource allocation as well as the ability to quickly change algorithms. C code optimized with TI C6x or ITU C intrinsic functions compiles directly to the ConnX D2 instruction set, allowing developers to benefit from pre-existing TI and ITU code bases.

A joint demo of a MIPS32 processor core integrated with Tensilica's HiFi 2 Audio DSP will be on display in suites that both companies have at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 7-10, 2010. Together, MIPS and Tensilica will help companies speed the design of new home entertainment and mobile consumer products based on Android.

The Denon 2930CI, 3930CI and 5910CI Progressive Scan DVD Audio/Video/Super Audio CD Players use Silicon Optix's Reon-VX HQV processing to deliver very high picture and sound quality. The DVD-5910CI uses the finest 10-bit I/P converter, capable of performing one trillion operations per second, to not only dramatically improve motion detection but also accurately detect and correct lines on a per-pixel basis to effectively avoid "jaggies."

Priced from $100-$150, the HP LaserJet P1005 and P1006 small-form-factor printers are the ideal gift. What a workhorse (I have one at home). Tensilica inside!
