Real-time Embedded Linux and POSIX RTOSs For Microcontrollers (MCUs)

Microcontrollers Everywhere

We have been making good progress porting our Ultra Tiny Embedded Linux compatible solutions to new MCUs. During the past months we released:

  • R8C
  • M16C
  • R32C
  • Arm Cortex M3 for TI Stellaris
It has been very rewarding to see all these components come to market.

In addition we've added a number of new components which have not been released yet. These components are geared towards adding low cost networks and networking to building automation, shipboard automation, and home automation applications. They are intended to support features like fat file system integration to allow developers to work in pc environments and have supporting tools to move files back and forth and set up high quality user interfaces.

Other steps are being taken to support automotive and automotive networks more thoroughly.

In all it has been a good few months for component based designers: there is many new options here. Our ultra tiny embedded Linux is more complete and moving to many more platforms. New add on components are cutting time and effort for users.
