NXP will combine the UIEngine technology platform and UIE interface design and development tools to offer their customers a basic reference UI that exposes the core functionality available in their chipsets. This will allow device manufacturers to easily manipulate the reference UI and quickly customize products without impacting underlying architecture.
The NXP PNX010x chipset that will feature the UIE technology addresses the very large and rapidly growing portable media market including: satellite radio, digital radio, portable navigation devices and personal media players.
Dirk-Jan Riezebos, product marketing manager for portable media products from NXP Semiconductors, said: Designers and developers can reuse the existing code base with a minimum of rework, making the PNX0103 chip one of the easiest on the market to use to build new products. The combined platform and tools from UIEvolution provides a very powerful package that will shift the paradigm of device development, allowing our customers to quickly redesign and deliver consumer products to market.
