Small-footprint RTOS runs on Blackfin
The micro-Velosity RTOS is now available for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor.
In addition, micro-Velosity's intuitive application programming interface (API) and world-class tools integration with the Multi IDE enables developers to create better performing systems at a lower cost that get to market faster than development efforts utilising other RTOS offerings on the market today.
"Senior management teams have been asking us for not only the most technologically advanced and productive solution, but one that covers product families, product generations, and product verticals".
"micro-Velosity is an important part of our vision for a compatible technology that spans from the most deeply embedded, cost-sensitive devices to high-end reliability-critical systems", said David Kleidermacher, Vice President of Engineering at Green Hills Software.

Micro-Velosity's industry-leading small footprint makes it ideal for embedded systems that have the tightest memory constraints.
The micro-Velosity API is extremely easy to learn and use.
Complete source code is included, making it easy for developers to understand and debug any aspect of the system.
With Multi's kernel-aware debugging, project creation wizard, and TimeMachine integration, device software is easy to develop, analyse, debug, test and optimise.
micro-Velosity provides extremely fast services and real-time, deterministic execution - making it ideal for devices with demanding performance requirements.
Context switching, service calls, and interrupt handling are finely tuned for maximum throughput and minimum latency, even under heavy loads.
In addition, micro-Velosity boots extremely quickly - in less than 1500 processor cycles - making it ideal for consumer electronics and other devices that have an "instant-on" requirement.
micro-Velosity's footprint makes it ideal for embedded systems that have tight memory constraints.
micro-Velosity is delivered as a library and is automatically scaled down by the Green Hills tool chain to include only those services that are actually used by the developer's application.
The combination of efficiency in execution speed and footprint make micro-Velosity an ideal choice for power-sensitive devices.
micro-Velosity is royalty-free, avoiding the headache of royalty reporting and making it ideal for high-volume, cost-sensitive embedded products.
Green Hills Software also offers an extremely attractive business model for OEMs, enabling micro-Velosity to be included in a value-added solution for end product developers at a fraction of the cost of competing offerings. Request a free brochure from Green Hills Software ...
