China's first independent command printer main control chip, Loongson 2P0500 released
According to reports, this is the first domestic printer main control chip based on an independent command system. As the core control component of the printing/scanning machine, the successful development of Loongson 2P0500 will help promote more domestic printers to the market.
According to reports, Loongson 2P0500 is a main control SoC chip suitable for single/multi-function printers and is the core control component in the printing/scanning machine . This chip is mainly used for printing data reception, analysis and processing, print engine control, scanning timing control, scanning data, image processing and motor control, etc.
The chip adopts a heterogeneous core structure, with built-in one Loongson LA364, two Loongson LA132 processor cores and 512KB shared L2 cache . It integrates DDR3, GMAC, OTG, USB, printing interface, scanning interface, image unit, PMIO, AD/ DA, eMMC, SDIO, SPI, PWM and other functional modules, and implement power consumption management control module, a single chip can meet the needs of various typical applications such as printing, scanning, copying and so on
In addition, Loongson officials stated at the conference that Loongson has also carried out adaptation work on printer drivers, and the Dragon-architecture Linux platform can drive more than 95% of printers .
Network printers have always been a critical concern for information security. With domestically controllable printers, there is now more assurance in terms of security...
