- Now Compatible With Slide Sensors and Touch Sensors -
TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:6703) today announced it
has released its second version Software Development Kit (SDK) for
ML67Q5250, the fingerprint authentication LSI that enables
match-on-device. OKI made improvements to the SDK to enable
compatibility with different types of touch sensors. In addition to
slide sensors, with the fingerprint authentication algorithm that is
built-in in ML67Q5250, manufacturers can now provide embedded systems
for touch sensors that feature low power consumption and high-speed
processing.
"While the first SDK was only compatible with slide sensors,
demand for touch sensors has been increasing for applications in door
locks, access control and ID terminals aimed at users of all ages.
Responding to this demand, OKI developed the SDK for ML67Q5250 to be
used for touch sensors," said Hiroshi Enomoto, President of Silicon
Solutions Company at OKI. "Customers wanting to use touch sensors can
now develop a fingerprint authentication system using ML67Q5250,
simply by preparing a touch sensor and the driver software to import
the fingerprint image."
OKI added a software interface to the new SDK to enable customers
to easily connect their desired sensor. Instead of limiting the types
of sensors that can connect to the SDK, OKI made it easy for customers
to connect various types of touch sensors for use in different
environments.
The fingerprint authentication system market is expected to
continue growing, and OKI plans to expand its business in that field
by providing an easy-to-use development environment that reduces the
development load.
(Summary of the second version Software Development Kit (SDK) for
ML67Q5250)
The SDK is a packaged product including an evaluation board to
develop fingerprint authentication systems and software. Customers can
also develop their own applications by using IO drivers and the
fingerprint authentication libraries included in the SDK. In addition,
debugging the software can be done easily by connecting an ARM
compliant JTAG ICE interface.
