Automotive RTOS cuts hardware overkill
LiveDevices reckons its Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) version 3.0 is the automotive industry's first fully analysable, deterministic OSEK-compliant real-time operating system (RTOS).
The Embedinet Pro SDK provides a feature rich, TCP/IP connectivity solution that is designed to minimise resource usage.
It includes an ultra-small real-time kernel, offering efficient intertask communication and the pre-emptive scheduling of multiple tasks.
Targeted at the Arizona Microchip PIC18CXXX family of low-cost 8bit microprocessors, LiveDevices' protocol stack comes complete with an IAR C compiler and MPLAB ICE 2000 emulator, including a personality module and connector.

RTOS automatically creates internal resources
LiveDevices has released version 3.1 of its world-class Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) featuring the SSX5 real-time operating system (RTOS).
To provide maximum flexibility for application development, the Embedinet Pro SDK supports a wide range of networking protocols.
These include IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, Ethernet, modem control, SLIP, PPP, DHCP, DNS, web server, FTP and TFTP server, ping and finger, SMTP client as well as embedded file system standards.
"Embedded software and product designers are under pressure to develop new business and consumer products that can take advantage of the huge growth in demand for Internet connectivity", commented Charlie Edgington, CEO at LiveDevices.
"The Embedinet SDK provides an immediate and cost-effective means of developing reliable and scalable embedded Internet solutions.
By offering a migration path to Bluetooth, Ethernet and HomeRF wireless connectivity, LiveDevices is also a future-proof choice".
Ubiquitous embedded Internet connectivity is now economically viable for the first time with LiveDevices' new super-efficient Embedinet software that runs on entry level, sub-$5 hardware.
The run-time footprint is tiny, for example IP is designed to use just 3152byte of ROM and 126byte of RAM.
Potential applications include the remote management of devices ranging from vending machines, environmental control units to electricity meters via mobile text messaging or the web.
For a limited period only, the Embedinet Pro SDK is available for the introductory offer of GBP 5300 ($7500 or 8600 Euro, plus tax and shipping) - a saving of GBP 4000 ($5700 or 6500 Euro) on the normal retail price of GBP 9300 ($13,300 or 15,100 Euro).
This includes a 50,000-unit run-time license valid for 12 months, plus full training documentation and technical support.
Also available from LiveDevices is an introductory Embedinet Learning SDK, aimed at developers wanting to build working prototypes of embedded Internet products, without actually deploying the application.
This provides developers with the ideal platform for building prototypes and testing the feasibility of developing Internet-connected devices.
