This benefits global OEMs, developers and end-users of consumer, mobile, commercial and industrial devices, as demonstrated by Nissin Systems at the 10th ESEC Embedded Systems Expo Japans largest embedded systems technology expo and conference recently held in the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre.
FancyPants is the award-winning platform, created by FST, for embedded application development.

We wish to thank Nissin Systems for helping demonstrate the many commercial and technical benefits of FancyPants across our Asia-Pacific community. Japan is a most progressive and demanding market, and FancyPants was shown to both meet and pre-empt such demands, said Robi Karp, CEO, Fluffy Spider Technologies.
All visitors to the Tokyo exhibition were impressed by the ability of FancyPants to present full motion video, with a Mobile Phone application, Video Browser, Image Browser and embedded Slide Show, without requiring any hardware acceleration on the Motorola / Freescale i.MX21 development board, which integrates a 320 x 240 x 18 bit colour display, with a 266 MHz processor, 64MB memory, touch screen and keypad, said Mr Yoshio Kashiwagi, Project General Manager Operation Division, Nissin Systems.
