The Real-Time Library supports all ARM7, ARM9 and ARM Cortex-M3 processor-based microcontrollers.
The library contains such items as a TCP/IP networking stack, Flash file system, USB device drivers and CAN device drivers optimised for the peripherals of the specific MCUs they support.
Developers can quickly configure and deploy the components of the library using the Configuration Wizard in the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit.
The Real-Time Library features the high-performance, royalty-free RTX real-time kernel.
It is included as a configurable object in the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit, and is provided in source form in the RealView Real-Time Library.
This fully featured kernel enables developers to combine other components from the Real-Time Library so that they execute as separate communicating tasks in embedded applications.
A fully featured networking suite in the Real-Time Library makes connectivity easy.
By supporting TCP/IP, UDP, Ethernet, PPP and SLIP, the Real-Time Library provides a flexible path to Internet connectivity through Ethernet, serial modem or wireless (cellular).
Embedded connectivity is supported with the inclusion of CAN drivers and USB device drivers.
To enable users to quickly use Real-Time Library components in their applications, an exhaustive number of examples and sample projects are included, which cover such areas as real-time control, HTTP servers, SMTP e-mail clients and USB devices.
All components of the RealView Real-Time Library are royalty-free under licence from ARM.
The RealView Real-Time Library is available immediately from ARM and its authorised distributors priced at US $4195.
