Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) and Micrium, Inc.
(Weston, FL) today announced that Micrium's uC/OS-III RTOS
(Real-Time Operating System) supports Cypress’s PSoC® 5 development
platform.
The unique programmable analog and digital peripherals in PSoC
5, along with the high performance 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3
processor, position PSoC 5 for demanding applications such as
industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer equipment. PSoC 5
devices offer industry-leading integrated analog resources and
powerful, PLD-based Universal Digital Blocks for implementing
standard and custom digital peripherals.
Micrium's middleware, long appreciated for its rapid-time-to
market focus, is ideal for the ARM® Cortex™-M3 based 32-bit
applications targeted by the PSoC 5 Cortex-M3 platform. All three
technologies complement each other, providing the embedded engineer
with a cadre of development tools, M3 debug capabilities,
fast-time-to prototype, ease of use, and more. By adding analog
components in a programmable fabric, the result is reduced
complexity and the ability to make changes easily in the field.
"For years, it was difficult to combine analog circuitry and
digital components. The PSoC 5 platform offers a very simple yet
powerful building-block approach to adding analog,” said Jean
Labrosse, president and CEO of Micrium. "Combined with the ARM
Cortex-M3 processor, it opens up a wealth of new designs in
industrial, medical, automotive and consumer embedded applications
where Micrium has considerable experience. Micrium's expertise with
the Cortex M3 processor and our strong education and support
capabilities offer rapid time-to-market and ease-of-implementation
advantages to PSoC 5 users targeting the embedded space."
Micrium’s uC/OS-II and uC/OS-III are fully featured kernels
designed specifically to address the requirements of embedded
systems. Both kernels have been running on ARM cores for years and
are especially well-suited for the Cortex-M processor family. The
uC/OS-III port for the Cortex-M family uses assembly language
optimizations to achieve maximum efficiency in frequently executed
kernel functions.
uC/OS-II and uC/OS-III can each be used alone or in conjunction
with other best-in-class software components from Micrium’s product
line-up. Micrium’s flexible model allows developers to easily
combine components into a robust software platform for PSoC 5
projects.
