ThreadX has been widely embraced and is currently deployed in excess of 450 million electronic products.
ThreadX is complemented by Express Logic's NetX TCP/IP stack, FileX file system, USBX USB stack, and PEGX GUI development kit, all of which also are available for Tensilica's new Diamond Standard 106Micro.
"In the 18 months since we introduced the original six members of the Diamond Standard family of controllers, CPUs and DSPs, we have seen a great deal of interest in ThreadX from our Diamond core user community", says Steve Roddy, Tensilica's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.
"We think that ThreadX will be a very popular choice for users of the 106Micro core".
"The speed, simplicity and low-cost of the ThreadX operating system are the perfect complement to the area, power and performance advtantages of the Diamond 106Micro controller".
The low-power Diamond Standard 106Micro is designed for simple controller applications in SoC designs, and an ideal choice for designers migrating from 8 and 16bit microcontrollers to 32bit processors.
All Diamond Standard processors are supported by an optimised set of Diamond Standard software tools and a wide range of industry infrastructure partners, who provide support with operating systems, design services, hardware prototyping and emulation, libraries and memories, EDA tools, and peripherals.
Tensilica provides a proven infrastructure for its Diamond Standard processor core family.
This infrastructure includes software development tools directly from Tensilica as well as JTAG probe support from Bytetools, FS2, Macraigor Systems and Sophia Systems; libraries and memories from ARM (Artisan) and Virage Logic; and support for popular EDA tools from Cadence, CoWare, Magma and Synopsys.
The Diamond 106Micro model for CoWare Platform Architect is available from CoWare.
"Tensilica's Diamond cores offer developers small sise and high performance, just like ThreadX", says William E Lamie, President of Express Logic.
"We're confident that the combination of ThreadX and the Diamond 106Micro will enable developers to bring cost-effective products to market quickly".
ThreadX, NetX, FileX, USBX and PEGX for the Tensilica Diamond 106Micro are available immediately from Express Logic, at royalty-free licence prices starting at US $12,500. Request a free brochure from Express Logic ...
