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).

LiveDevices has released version 3.1 of its world-class Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) featuring the SSX5 real-time operating system (RTOS).

RTA v3.1 is the first certified RTOS to provide full implementation of the latest OSEK OS v2.2 standard.

This standard defines RTOS support for a wide range of embedded applications from those that need to run on hardware with the smallest memory configurations and lowest-power processors, to those that are required to be more feature-rich and flexible.

Customers have found the RTA implementation of the OSEK standard to be the smallest and fastest on the market thanks to the unique and highly scaleable approach to its implementation.

LiveDevices' unique exploitation of the OSEK 2.2 standard's new internal resources enables RTA v3.1 to automatically create internal resources, and allocate tasks to use these, without compromising any real-time deadlines.

This produces significant savings, typically of between 50 and 85% in the amount of RAM required for the stack.

The ingenious extension of the single stack architecture means that applications, of the RTOS, using extended conformance classes (ECC1 and ECC2) have memory usage similar to that of basic ones.

Realogy Real-Time Architect is also unique in providing integrated timing analysis allowing developers to identify where additional functionality can safely be added without violating timing requirements.

In addition, developers are able to determine how much CPU speed can be reduced and still show that deadlines are met.

Following the initial certification of RTA to the OSEK v2.2 standard on the Motorola MPC5xx, RTA v3.1 will shortly be certified on the Infineon C167 and Motorola HC12.

A wide range of ports are in preparation on ARM, Hitachi, Infineon, Microchip, Motorola, Mitsubishi and ST microcontrollers.
