Debugger looks into TCP/IP stack
Express Logic is claiming an industry first with the addition of TCP/IP stack and file system awareness to the ARM RealView debugger's already robust RTOS kernel awareness for ThreadX.
RTOS runs on Blackfin processors
The ThreadX real-time operating system is now available for Analog Devices' new network-enabled Blackfin processors.
"We've now counted another 100 million ThreadX-based products, with 35 million in the wireless networking and consumer electronics sectors", noted John Carbone, Vice President, Marketing for Express Logic.
"Combined with HP's shipment rate of 15 million printers per quarter, this brings our ThreadX deployment total past the 200 million unit mark in the last four years".
The ThreadX RTOS is a small, fast, royalty-free RTOS used at the heart of deeply embedded products in many sectors of the electronics industry, including consumer electronics, networking, office automation, medical equipment, and industrial automation.
With over 1000 customer designs based on ThreadX, and over 200 million deployments, ThreadX is one of the most widely deployed RTOSs in the world.
Since 2001, Express Logic customers have shipped more than 200 million units, and most of these are still in service.
This large number of deployments indicates that Express Logic's customers enjoy significant success developing, selling, shipping and supporting ThreadX-based products.
Much of their success comes thanks to the high reliability, bullet-proof stability, as well as the ease of development and debugging of the ThreadX RTOS.
The royalty-free pricing of ThreadX RTOS makes it ideal for high-volume, low-margin products, where royalties would introduce significant additional cost.
Equally important, its ease-of-use cuts development time, enabling electronic product manufacturers to penetrate their highly competitive market faster. Request free introductory details about products from Express Logic ...
