Network processor gains real-time
support
The Integrity real-time operating system now provides support for the Intel IXP425 network processor.
Green Hills Software is now supporting the Intel IXP425 network processor with its Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) This support means that IXP425 application developers now have access to a high performance RTOS that is integrated with the Green Hills' Multi integrated development environment (IDE) and optimising C/C++ compilers

Green Hills has the lot for Cirrus Crystal
The latest IDE, RTOS and embedded internet connectivity products from Green Hills Software are for the Cirrus Logic Crystal CS89712 32bit RISC commmunications processor.
As a result, the development and deployment of network-enabled products using WAN and LAN technologies for small-to-medium enterprises will be greatly simplified.
Integrity is a royalty-free RTOS that is optimised for Intel XScale technology, and well suited for applications based on the Intel IXP425 network processor that require high performance, high reliability, and a cost-effective business model.
Providing true real-time performance with fast interrupt response and rapid context switching, Integrity also supports the IXP425 MMU protection feature.

Development environment for embedded Linux
A new version of the MULTI 2000 IDE from Green Hills Software will help simplify the development of sophisticated applications for embedded target systems running the Linux operating system.
Green Hills Software's RTOS enhances reliability and determinism by never disabling interrupts during any system call, while also providing applications guaranteed access to the CPU and memory for critical tasks.
Errant or malicious code is also prevented from corrupting user and kernel objects.
Other RTOS solutions do not offer this protection or security, leaving systems vulnerable to failure from errant application code, viruses, and hackers.
The Intel IXP425 network processor is a highly integrated, versatile single-chip processor that can be used in a variety of products that need network connectivity and high performance to run their unique WAN and LAN applications.
Integrated support for the three network processing engines on the IXP425 network processor is provided by Integrity.
Integrity is part of a complete, highly integrated, single-source development solution for the entire application development and deployment cycle.
The Multi IDE includes a source-level debugger, program builder, profiler, run-time error checker, version control, memory leak detector and editor.
Green Hills Software's C/C++/EC++ compilers are optimised for the Intel XScale core, ARMV5 Thumb instruction set and ARM V5E DSP extensions, thus continuing the tradition of producing the fastest and smallest code in the industry.
Multi also features the 100% binary compatible Integrity simulator (ISIM), enabling programmers to develop and test their target processor code on a PC or workstation without the IXP425 hardware.
