RTX Real-Time Kernel
RTX

The RTX Real-Time Kernel is a real-time kernel for ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex-M devices. It allows you to create programs that simultaneously perform multiple functions or tasks. This is often required in an embedded application.

Features

• Royalty-free, deterministic RTOS with source code
• Designed for Cortex-M0, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, and ARM7, ARM9
• High-Speed real-time operation with low interrupt latency
• Small footprint for resource constrained systems
• Flexible Scheduling: round-robin, pre-emptive, and collaborative
• Unlimited number of tasks with 255 priority levels
• Unlimited number of mailboxes, semaphores, mutex, and timers
• Support for multithreading and thread-safe operation
• Kernel aware debug support in MDK-ARM
• Dialog-based setup using µVision Configuration Wizard

Benefits

While it is certainly possible to create real-time programs without an RTOS (by executing one or more functions or tasks in a loop), there are numerous scheduling, maintenance, and timing issues that an RTOS like the RTX Real-Time Kernel solves for you.
