Compact core gains system-level design support
New integration extends the unique relationship between CoWare and Tensilica to the entire Diamond Standard and Xtensa configurable processor product lines.
The popular uC/OS-II RTOS now can run on all of Tensilica's Diamond Standard CPU and controller cores, including the Diamond Standard 108Mini, 212GP, 232L, and 570T, as well as most Xtensa configurations.
"Micrium's uC/OS-II RTOS is a very popular RTOS and was requested by several of our customers", stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica's Director of Strategic Alliances.
"It is valued because of its very small footprint and very reasonable royalty-free licensing".
"We expect that several of our customers will immediately start to use this RTOS".
"The popularity of Tensilica's processor cores has been increasing, particularly since the introduction of the Diamond Standard processor line", stated Jean Labrosse, President of Micrium.
"By porting to Tensilica's processors, customers are now able to migrate current applications built around uC/OS-II to the Tensilica architecture".
uC/OS-II, the real-time kernel, is a highly portable, ROMable, very scalable, pre-emptive real-time multitasking kernel RTOS for microprocessors and microcontrollers.
uC/OS-II is provided with all source code, which is 100% portable ANSI C.
Easily scaled because of the modular nature of the source code, uC/OS-II can present a very small footprint for space-constrained embedded designs.
uC/OS-II has been widely embraced and can be delivered as a pre-certifiable software component for safety-critical systems, including avionics RTCA DO-178B and EUROCAE ED-12B, medical FDA 510(k), transportation and nuclear systems standard IEC61058, DO-178B Level A Class III medical devices, and SIL3/SIL4 ICE-certified systems.
