Quadros Systems Announces Support for Expanded Freescale™ ColdFire® Platform
Integrated software supports new on-chip peripherals and functionality
ESC Booth # 924
Boston, MA, 2004 ESC Boston - September 13, 2004 - Quadros Systems,
Inc., a leading supplier of configurable and scaleable real-time operating
systems (RTOS), today announced support for the expanded family of
ColdFire processors (MCF523x, MCF527x, MCF528x, MCF547x, and MCF548x)
from Freescale Semiconductor. As integrated 32-bit processors designed
for networked and stand-alone real-time control applications, these new
ColdFire processors reduce memory requirements, power dissipation, system
board size and costs in a variety of industrial applications. The RTXC
Quadros RTOS and middleware enables developers to maximize the performance
of the ColdFire family with sophisticated kernel services, highly scalable
memory footprint, and extensive peripheral support.
“ColdFire processors bring together many of the critical features
embedded developers need for specific applications,” noted Tom Barrett,
president of Quadros Systems. “Knowing the real-time needs of the
control developer, we have worked closely with Freescale Semiconductor
to ensure that the extended set of on-chip peripherals is matched with
equally integrated real-time software capabilities.”
The RTXC Quadros RTOS offers an extensive suite of middleware
integrated with the RTXC RTOS kernel. To address application needs that
range from large-scale factory automation to precise medical
instrumentation, Quadros has provided ColdFire developers with RTXC
Quadnet TCP/IP, IPsec/IKE security module, RTXCflashfile, CAN and USB.
This complements the extensive on-chip peripherals in the latest ColdFire
devices to support increased connectivity, security and control and to
target applications ranging from robotics and point of sale scanners
and terminals to security and other commercial implementations.
Price and Availability
The RTXC Quadros multi-stack RTOS for the ColdFire family is available
immediately and is priced starting at $12,500 for a single project license.
