32-Bit Embedded CPU Complex Targeting Internet Appliances

The GM7009 32-bit 166 MHz FA510 embedded RISC processor is a cost-effective, low-power, and high performance SoC solution targeting handheld devices and Internet appliance applications. GM also provides FA510-based media lbrary like MP3/WMA/AAC/JPEG decoders to help customers implement their high performance media applications in an ever competitive market. In conjunction with the system solution, GM provides pre-verified technologies and developing boards for customers to develop their unique SoCs within minimal turnaround time. The board is a virtual development tool, providing necessary OS design kit and drivers to ease the software design efforts with lower entry barriers; consequently, customers can substantially reduce the software and system development cost with a significant saving ( 50% to 75% reduction) compared to to the non-platform alternative.

An Affordable 32-Bit SoC Solution for the 16-/8-Bit High Performance CPU Applications

GM7009 is a 32-bit 166 MHz SoC Solution which supports a complete set of system peripherals with power management capabilities that can minimize the overall system costs and eliminates the need for additional components, which makes it particularly suitable for cost-/power-sensitive applications. The embedded PCI controller is capable of supporting PCI device controllers. With a PCI-USB host and wireless LAN extensions, GM7009 serves as the bridge between the Internet and wireless USB devices. It can also fulfill the criteria for the co-work between devices on different interfaces. GM7009 supports application softwares developed on the OS such as uCLinux.

A Complete and Ready Wireless LAN SoC Solution

Among the most popular applications, GM7009 addresses the Internet radio. With the in-house wireless LAN driver and the support from Faraday Technology's media library, customers can easily complete the verification and software development in one month. Not only 802.11b and 802, 11g are supported, the driver is also compatible with WPA personal and WPAII personal standards. A complete certification flow is also available for customers to achieve the wireless LAN certification .
