Accelerated Technology(TM), a Mentor Graphics division
(Nasdaq:MENT), today announced the release of a configurable
version of the Nucleus(R) Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) with
its corresponding middleware package for the Nios(R) II family of
embedded processors from Altera Corporation. Embedded developers
using the Nios II processors can now configure their software to
better manage and build multi-core applications such as wireless
broadband and Wi-Fi, cellular infrastructure, wire line, industrial
control, automotive and medical. "The addition of Accelerated
Technology's configurable RTOS to the Nios II processor's growing
ecosystem gives embedded developers even more flexibility in
designing their systems," said Chris Balough, director of software
and Nios marketing at Altera. "The ability to easily reconfigure
the FPGA gives embedded developers the ability to focus on their
core competency and get their application to market quickly." A
major new feature of the Nucleus RTOS is the software's ability to
automatically configure itself using Altera's Hardware Abstraction
Layer (HAL) and adjust to any hardware changes using Altera's SOPC
Builder system-level development tool. Using the HAL developers can
move hardware components in the Field Programmable Gate Array
(FPGA) without having to hand-code the addition, deletion or
address changes into the Nucleus code. This increases the
availability of the Nucleus software when the hardware core
changes. Instead of spending hours modifying the target software to
work with the new hardware configuration, a developer can configure
the software automatically in minutes. This is especially valuable
during the earlier design phases when the hardware may be changing
frequently. "Configurable hardware is often perceived as a problem
for software engineers," said Robert Day, director of marketing,
Accelerated Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. "With the close
link between the Nios II processor's development platform and the
Nucleus RTOS and middleware, the configuration takes place
automatically, thus relieving those potential hardware/software
issues." Other Nucleus software components available to Nios II
processor developers include APIs for C++, micro-ITRON and POSIX, a
command line interface, the Nucleus NET networking stack, including
encryption software and SSL technology, the Nucleus FILE file
management system, embedded Web server and extended protocol
package. Pricing and Availability The Nucleus embedded software is
sold with source code and without royalty fees. Licenses for the
Nucleus software begin at $12,495. For more information, please
