EmINENT Microsystems announces Embedded Software Framework support for the µC/OS-II Real-Time Kernel

The Embedded Software Framework (ESF) is an object-oriented suite of embedded software libraries that provides the state-of-the-art in real-time software development. EmINENT Microsystems ESF technology enables true embedded reusability management, greatly reducing embedded product development costs and accelerating time to market.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 30, 2004 - EmINENT Microsystems Inc. a leader in Advanced Embedded Technologies today announced Embedded Software Framework (ESF) support for the µC/OS-II Real-Time Kernel from Micrium, Inc. The ESF software suite provides object-oriented interfaces to all UCOS functions. Specific libraries include ESF RTOS a simple, powerful, and easily customizable real-time operating system that adds timeouts to block memory allocation without changing µC/OS, ESF Base an OS and platform independent data structure, algorithm and digital signal processing library, speeding development of a wide range of resource constrained applications requiring computationally efficient (e.g. fixed-point arithmetic) and/or algorithmically sophisticated signal processing, ESF TCP/IP a flexible, fast, compact, real-time implementation (e.g. no heap allocation, timeouts, etc.) of the standard TCP/IP protocols including Telnet and TFTP, ESF Web Server an embedded HTTP web server, and ESF SNMP a complete implementation of the standard SNMP protocols.

ESF software functions are organized into intuitively and conceptually familiar library hierarchies, so that you can quickly learn the available functions and find the components that you need.

The result is a powerful set of building blocks that accelerates application development and maximizes the reuse and cross project leveraging of engineering investments. Multi-threaded applications, including complex I/O and device control software, can be engineered to be portable and independent of a specific platform or operating system.

µC/OS-II" is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive, real-time, multitasking kernel. µC/OS-II is written in ANSI C and the inner workings of µC/OS-II are described in the book "µC/OS-II, The Real-Time Kernel" (ISBN 1-57820-103-9) written by world renowned author Jean J. Labrosse. µC/OS-II was certified in an avionics product by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use in commercial aircraft by meeting the demanding requirements of the RTCA DO-178B standard for software used in avionics equipment. Since its introduction back in 1992, MicroC/OS has been used in hundreds of products.
