OpenRTOS speeds development with Integrated USB and FAT file system
Wittenstein High Integrity Systems has launched a fully integrated version of its OpenRTOS kernel with ‘out of the box’ USB and FAT file system capability. The real time OS is designed to run efficiently on the new generation of small and medium 32-bit microcontrollers, with the initial release supporting the NXP LPC2xxx, ARM 7 and Freescale Coldfire V2 architectures. The product shortens development time for applications using USB or flash memory considerably.
OpenOpenRTOS CONNECT delivers a full featured FAT 12/16/32 based, DOS compatible file system designed for embedded applications requiring PC compatible media, for example SD and other common flash based devices. A lightweight file system version is also available for configurations with limited resources.
The USB host, device and class drivers support all four USB transfer types and enables the development of embedded applications fully compliant with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0.
Speaking about the upcoming launch, David Brook commented, “‘out of the box’ has become a cliché, but in this case it’s a valid statement. The product just works. It’s simple. And it’s well supported. Whether you’re designing a data logger, domestic appliance or industrial control system it will be right, first time.”
