Specifications

Kozio, Inc., a leading provider of
embedded software for systemlevel
hardware testing, today announced
plans for support of the MIPS32
processor architecture with general
availability October 1. Kozio provides a
comprehensive systemlevel test pack
age for custom hardware platforms
with fast delivery times for supported
processors. Support includes the abili
ty for Kozio to provide outstanding sys
temlevel test coverage for any hard
ware product using a MIPS32 proces
sor. All Kozio products will be updated
to include MIPS32 processor support.
The move to add this support was
spurred by the company's growing
relationship with key customers and
the resulting need to provide a com
plete test solution for VoiceoverIP
(VoIP) products. Kozio develops
turnkey software solutions that verify
design and validate hardware for any
embedded singleboard computer
systems for a variety of applications,
including networking and communica
tions technology.
"Integrating support for the MIPS32
processor architecture continues
Kozio's leadership position as the only
embedded systemlevel test provider
with the tools to accelerate boardlevel
test," notes Kozio President Joseph
Skazinski. "Our products help manu
facturers and hardware designers
reduce their effort while deploying
more reliable technology faster than
ever before."
The new release of Kozio's
kDiagnostics software will support
MIPS as well as offer complete digital
signal processor (DSP) and VoIP test
suites. Specifically, support will be
added for:
• MIPS32 4K Core, a solution for
multiCPU systemonachip
designs, which are becoming
increasingly popular in nextgener
ation networking and broadband
applications.
• Texas Instruments' TNETV1060
CPE Gateway Solution, a highly
integrated software and silicon sys
temonachip designed to address
the requirements of residential and
small office/home office (SOHO)
gateways.
• Texas Instruments' programmable
TMS320C55x™ DSP.
Kozio's new software versions will
also deliver Foreign eXchange Office
(FXO) and Foreign eXchange Subscriber
(FXS) test suites for the two most com
mon interfaces (ports or plugs) found in
analog telephony environments
In addition to the general soft
ware release supporting the MIPS
32 architecture, Kozio also ports all
of its comprehensive embedded
systemlevel test products to cus
tom platforms. This service is
included with the price of a software
license and can be completed, on
average, in one week.
