"Accelerated Technology and MIPS Technologies together have powered many generations of digital consumer devices", said Robert Day, Director of Marketing, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division.
"The speed and flexibility of both the Nucleus Plus kernel and the 24K cores provide an ideal platform for the development of the latest generation of high-performance digital consumer devices".
The scalable, royalty-free Nucleus Plus kernel - the basis of the Nucleus family of products, and a widely accepted kernel for building digital consumer applications - is ideal for the feature-rich capabilities that customers require from their multimedia applications.
The Nucleus Plus kernel provides efficient, high-performance task management, intertask communication, intertask synchronisation, memory management and component query features.
Optimisations in system clock, interrupt and compiler register usage are part of the advanced features provided by the Nucleus Plus kernel.
The kernel handles difficult issues such as priority inversion while minimising the interrupt latency to a few microseconds.
The Nucleus embedded software is sold with source code and without royalty fees.
Licences for the Nucleus software begin at $12,495.
