Datalight® Reliance™ File System Increases Device Reliability for Texas Instruments OMAPV1030

The Challenge

Widely recognized as the leading manufacturer of wireless semiconductors, Texas Instruments delivers real-time technologies and solutions to customers of emerging wireless markets. The increase in demand for OEMs to bring a more integrated, high-performance application and communication processor to market faster, encouraged TI to select Datalight’s Reliance™ file system because it co-exists with native FAT file systems that allow customers to store critical information within a formatted partition. In conjunction with TI’s optimized EDGE solution OMAPV1030 baseband processor, Reliance™ serves as a portable, adaptable, software environment that is re-usable among every member of the OMAP-Vox family.

The Datalight Solution

After thorough research, the company found Reliance™, a fault-tolerant embedded file system solution created by Datalight®, to be the right choice for their OMAPV1030 platform. Unlike FAT-based file systems, Reliance™ is specifically designed for embedded devices that are required to operate in environments where power interruption and power failure may occur. Datalight worked diligently with TI to implement Reliance™ into their OMAP platform in order to preserve critical information and to validate the reliability of their new device. To ensure the system met the company’s expectations, Datalight designed custom test scenarios that included rigorous system crash testing.

The Customer Payoff

With Reliance™, the company met its reliability design goals for the new OMAPV1030 platform which meant customers could have a higher quality multimedia mobile experience, improved performance, reduced cost and power consumption, resulting in products getting to market faster. Datalight’s technology allows for longer battery life, excess usage times for customers, has a failsafe mechanism, supports a range of memory parts, and even gives manufacturers a more effective migration path to next-generation scalable platforms.
