/> The WiLink 6.0 solution is a single-chip, wireless combo chipset encompassing all digital and analog content required for WLAN and Bluetooth technology communications.

Adeneo Embedded initially developed the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 drivers on TI’s OMAP35x evaluation module (EVM) leveraging the OMAP35x applications processor. The technical design of the drivers will enable the Adeneo Embedded products to extend to future OMAP™ platforms. Adeneo Embedded is also working aggressively with TI to establish similar catalog drivers for mass market support, ensuring quicker delivery to customers not requiring heavy customization.

The Adeneo Embedded drivers are compliant with Microsoft’s Production Quality Device (PQD) specifications. This helps OEMs focus on adapting only specific, necessary portions of code via the embedded drivers. As a result of this PQD compliance, integration of TI’s WiLink 6.0 solution is cost-effective and efficient in both customized and standard designs.

Driver Highlights
• Microsoft PQD compliance saves customers time and money by clearly separating chipset- and board-dependent features
• Only portions of the drivers related to board interfaces need to be reviewed and redesigned
• All code linked to the core chipset can be reused without modifications
• Drivers are qualified via Windows Embedded CE Test Kit (CETK)
