WLAN Solution for
DaVinci™
With WLAN already playing a major role in the consumer electronics
segment, more and more product developers are using Wi-Fi as the
preferred means of connectivity. Product developers are increasingly in
search of solutions that will give them an edge in saving on development
costs and expediting their time to market.
The WLAN Solution for DaVinci™ from Mistral Software is a complete WLAN
solution for Texas Instruments’ DaVinci™ DM644x series of processors.
Made available using the WLAN6101 from SyChip, Inc. a subsidiary of
Murata, the host interface for the WLAN module is provided via the 4-bit

the best solutions to our customers. We are really excited about
bringing out the first WLAN solution for the DaVinci™ to the market”,
said Samyeer Metrani, VP-Product Development at Mistral. “This solution
helps DaVinci™ based product developers get a head-start on the
development of their next generation wireless enabled devices.”
The solution provides a significant advantage in development time and
ultimately time to market for a host of devices where fast design
cycles, minimum package volumes and ultra low power consumption are
required.
“The migration of WLAN to consumer electronics devices has become a key
catalyst for growth in this industry. Partners like Mistral add to the
momentum by offering high-quality solutions and services that our
customers can take advantage of when building next-generation embedded
