IDE and compiler optimised for latest PowerPC
The latest version of the Green Hills MULTI 2000 integrated development environment is aimed at Motorola's new MPC7450 PowerPC microprocessor.
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.
This architecture is integrated on the mobileGT MPC5200 embedded processor and supported on both the lite5200 and Total5200 reference systems available from Motorola Semiconductor Product Sector.
The royalty-free CAN developers' kit consists of the CAN driver and C-API service call library for Green Hills Software's Integrity RTOS along with several examples in source code.
Both the driver and C-API are small and efficient.
Support for CANopen with Integrity can be made available on request.
Steinhoff is planning additional CAN controller support for Integrity as well.
"Worldwide, we are seeing a dramatic increase in Fieldbus requests for Integrity RTOS support.
As such we are pleased to make our DACHS product suite available to our mutual customers", said Jutta Steinhoff, Marketing Manager of Steinhoff Automation.
"We are also pleased to join the list of companies already part of the Green Hills Integrity Partner Programme".
Integrity is a fast, deterministic RTOS designed for applications that require high reliability, small size and real-time responsiveness.
Using the hardware memory protection facilities of the processor's memory management units (MMU), Integrity builds a firewall between the kernel and user tasks that prevents errant or malicious tasks from corrupting user data, the kernel, interprocess communications, device drivers and other user tasks.
Integrity also enhances reliability and determinism by running with interrupts continuously enabled and guaranteeing access to the CPU and memory for critical tasks.
This combination of high-reliability, fast, predictable response and royalty-free pricing makes Integrity ideal for a broad range of applications that emphasise reliability, hard real-time performance and low-cost production.
Support for the developers' kit is expected in early 2004, with demonstration capability included on the Integrity MPC5200 CD in the first half of 2004. Request a free brochure from Green Hills Software ...
