TimeSys' Linux products for the MIPS32 and MIPS64 Malta development boards provide a complete embedded Linux solution featuring TimeSys Linux GPL, consisting of a fully featured preemptible kernel that extends a standard Linux distribution to support the predictable, extremely low-latency response requirements of embedded systems.
Also available are TimeSys modules that transform TimeSys Linux GPL to meet strict performance requirements.
TimeSys Linux/Real-Time delivers full response predictability to TimeSys Linux GPL.
TimeSys Linux/CPU and /Net provide capabilities for dynamic load handling and system overload protection.
Used in conjunction with TimeSys' crossplatform development tools, TimeSys also provides a complete embedded Linux-based solution for designing, developing and deploying devices on Malta development boards.
TimeSys' Linux solution for the MIPS32 and MIPS64 Malta development boards includes: support for the Malta development boards for TimeSys' embedded-Linux product offering; Linux board-hosted GNU toolchains; PC-based Linux crossplatform GNU toolchains; timing analysis core for use by TimeSys' event tracing and timing visualisation tool: TimeTrace; certified device drivers; and user, API and SBC specific documentation.
For Windows-based crossplatform development, TimeSys supports the Malta boards with the following set of Windows-based crossdevelopment tools: the TimeStorm Windows-hosted integrated development environment for crossplatform development with Windows-based MIPS crossplatform toolchains; the TimeTrace Windows-hosted tool for event tracing and timing visualisation; and the TimeWiz Windows-hosted real-time analysis and simulation tool.
TimeSys' complete range of embedded Linux solutions for the MIPS Malta development boards are available for download from the TimeSys website.
