Natl Semi: Referenzplattform für Set-Top Boxen vor
National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM) stellt eine Referenzplattform für den Geode SC1200 Single-Chip Prozessor vor. Der Designvorschlag enthält alle Eigenschaften, die heute von einer modernen Set-Top Box gefordert werden. Die Plattform unterstützt Microsoft TV-Software und Windows CE, den TV Navigator von Liberate, WindRivers VxWorks und das Linux Betriebssystem.

Inprimis Technologies (INPM) hat wesentlich zum Entstehen der Referenzplattform beigetragen. Die aus Verlautbarungen der deutschen Infomatec im letzten Jahr bekannt gewordene Boca Research wurde vor einiger Zeit auf den neuen Namen Inprimis getauft. Das Unternehmen stellt Hard- und Software Entwicklungsdienstleistungen für interaktive Set-Top Boxen und Internet/Information Appliances zur Verfügung.

Die NSM-Aktie verliert 2 Prozent auf 23-9/16 Dollar. 52-Wochen Bereich zwischen 21-15/16 und 85-15/16 Dollar.
