Embedded database runs on Integrity RTOS

McObject's tiny-footprint eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database is now available for Green Hills Software's industry-leading royalty-free Integrity RTOS.

McObject's tiny-footprint eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database is now available for Green Hills Software's industry-leading royalty-free Integrity RTOS.

The availability of eXtremeDB for Integrity builds on the companies' joint design wins in key embedded markets including defence, aerospace, and automotive.

Among other sales, a global defence contractor and a prominent automotive communications systems manufacturer both recently adopted the combination of McObject's eXtremeDB and Green Hills Software's Integrity RTOS.

For applications that can't afford to fail, customers need a proven, solid software foundation.

McObject's eXtremeDB supports this with features such as transaction logging and an optional High Availability (HA) subsystem.

Green Hills Software's Integrity RTOS features full memory, application and device driver protection along with guaranteed resource availability for systems' most critical tasks.

At the same time, Integrity's architecture guarantees true real-time deterministic performance with fast interrupt response times and rapid context switching.

Integrity is certified compliant to the latest 2003 Posix.1 API and also features field upgrading/debugging and dynamic task downloading - features valuable to many of today's applications.

The combination of Green Hills Software and McObject brings high value economically to mutual end customers, as well.

Both eXtremeDB and Integrity provide a highly cost-effective, scalable embedded solution, with minimal RAM and CPU requirements on the target system, thus lessening manufacturing cost, while enabling customers to deploy extremely reliable solutions.

Both companies' products cut time-to-market and recognize that combating software bugs can be the most time-consuming aspect of embedded software development.

To that end, Green Hills Software offers built-in RTOS debugging capabilities along with its market-leading Multi debugger, and eXtremeDB from McObject provides an innovative self-diagnostic API that catches most common database programming flaws early - when repairs are much less costly.

"McObject welcomes Green Hills Software as an important ally in our shared drive to improve customers' profitability through better approaches to embedded systems software development and deployment", McObject CEO and cofounder Steve Graves said.

"Recent mutual design wins point to the market's recognition of our complementary offerings, and our alliance will surely increase that receptiveness".

"Green Hills Software is pleased to partner with a company that shares our vision regarding reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness".

"McObject's eXtremeDB contributes in all three areas, making it an excellent database for use alongside our fast, ultra-reliable RTOS and powerful embedded systems development tools", said Dan Mender, Green Hills Software's Director of Business Development.

eXtremeDB is available from Logic Technology.
