FreeRTOS now available for Tensilica processors & DSPs
Cadence Design Systems has announced that FreeRTOS (a popular, scalable, easy-to-use real-time kernel designed specifically for small, low-power embedded systems) is now available for Cadence Tensilica processors and DSPs. According to a 2013 market share study from UBM Tech, FreeRTOS had been selected for 13% of embedded projects that utilise an embedded OS and is a very popular option for MCUs as well as smaller 32-bit processor cores.
FreeRTOS makes it easier for programmers to develop complex real-time software that combines control and DSP threads. FreeRTOS also offers specific support for IoT applications that helps customers speed time-to-market. Tensilica processors and DSPs are suited for wearables and other IoT applications that combine wireless digital signal processing with control. By combining digital signal processing and control, designers can develop lower power, more efficient chips.
Richard Barry, FreeRTOS developer and principal engineer, Real Time Engineers, commented: "The availability of FreeRTOS on Tensilica processors and DSPs means that Cadence customers now have the option to join the many developers worldwide who already benefit from the ease of use and bullet-proof reliability of FreeRTOS. We look forward to welcoming Tensilica users to our global community."
