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.
Led by HP's use of ThreadX in its line of ink-jet and All-In-One printers, and Broadcom's use of ThreadX in millions of its wireless networking SoCs, ThreadX has consistently ranked among the most widely deployed operating systems for embedded devices.
"In the past year, we've seen another 100 million units added to our total deployments, largely due to the explosive growth of high-volume Bluetooth and 802.11 wireless networking applications that use ThreadX for RF communications", commented William E Lamie, President of Express Logic.
"Our actual count may in fact be much higher, since many of our customers do not make such volume shipment figures available".
ThreadX is Express Logic's small, fast, royalty-free RTOS for demanding real-time applications.
Its royalty-free business model makes ThreadX extremely attractive for high-volume devices.
Equally important is the ease-of-use that enables ThreadX-powered devices to get to market on time and within budget, leading to high levels of success in the marketplace and the resulting high volumes.
Lamie adds: "These volumes prove the rock-solid reliability of ThreadX.
Without this high reliability, such production volume would never be economically achievable".
"We're very proud that ThreadX has proven so reliable that so many products have reached high-volume production success". Request free introductory details about products from Express Logic ...
