RTOS integrates Java for mobile development
OSE Systems has integrated its real-time operating system with IBM's embedded Java technology to create a development and deployment solution for next-generation mobile handsets and infrastructure.
"OSE's widespread deployment in 3G mobile phones makes it a natural for integration with our NRX700 WLAN engine", said Par Bergsten, CEO at Nanoradio.
"OSE's compact footprint, high reliability and advanced power management capabilities make it a perfect fit for the NRX700, and greatly simplify the integration of the NRX700 with wireless devices".
The NRX700 is a high performance, highly integrated WLAN chip set that combines an ARM core with an RF transceiver and a baseband/media access controller (MAC).
The transceiver features an integrated 21dBm power amplifier with advanced power save capability (0.3mW in standby mode).
It also includes a VCO and PLL (including loop filter), with no need for external SAW filters.
The baseband/MAC is optimised for data, voice and hi-fi audio.
Supporting wireless datarates of up to 54Mbit/s (per IEEE801.11 b and g), the NRX700 features on-chip RAM that supports host applications without the need for external flash, EPROM, or RAM.
The NRX700 supports both on-chip crystals and external clocks (13, 16.8, 19.2, 26, 38.4).
OSE is a family of compact, high-performance, deterministic real-time operating systems.
Optimised for mobile computing applications, the OSE family addresses all aspects of low-cost, feature-rich 3G handset design, from DSP baseband processing to RISC application processing.
The OSE family delivers fully-preemptive, event-driven, real-time response.
It also features a power management system that extends battery life, a crash-safe file system with flash support, and dynamic download capability, which enhances mobile device flexibility by enabling new applications to be downloaded to systems as they operate in the field.
