Support for Stellaris microcontrollers
Micrium has announced that its uC/OS-II RTOS now fully supports Luminary Micro's Stellaris microcontrollers based on the ARM CortexT-M3 microcontroller core.
RTOS and IP stack switch to ST processors
Micrium has successfully ported its uC/OS-II real time operating system (RTOS) and uC/TCP-IP stack to ST Microelectronics' STR9 and STR7 processor families.
Both Micrium and Microchip share a philosophy of providing quality tools that can be evaluated by the development community prior to purchase.
Micrium's RTOS and recently announced TCP/IP stack, and Microchip's free development environment, are downloadable from each company's respective website.
"As processor performance and design complexity continue to increase, an RTOS becomes invaluable for design development", said Jean Labrosse, Micrium President and CEO.
"The uC/OS-II RTOS, Micrium's flagship product, manages up to 255 diverse application tasks".
"We are proud that Microchip has decided to provide uC/OS-II kernel awareness capabilities in its MPLAB IDE, and we look forward to a long-term relationship".
"We see Micrium as a leader in RTOS technology".
"Its products are highly recognised and requested by our customers", said Jim Pepping, development systems third party support manager for Microchip.
"MPLAB IDE users can now take advantage of the Micrium RTOS and other middleware to quickly develop their products".
The MPLAB IDE is a free, integrated toolset for the development of embedded applications using Microchip's PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers.
The easy-to-use IDE serves as a single, unified graphical user interface for Microchip and third-party development tools.
The Micrium uC/OS-II RTOS is a portable, ROMable, scalable, pre-emptive real-time, multitasking kernel for microprocessors and microcontrollers.
Scaled to contain only the features required for specific applications, it provides a small footprint and runs on a vast number of processor architectures and ports.
