Quadros Systems Delivers USB Connectivity for Embedded Devices
RTXCusb features host- and device-side stacks and class drivers
ESC: #1141
Embedded Systems Conference, San Francisco, CA - March 7, 2005 — Quadros
Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of configurable and scaleable real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced the availability of RTXCusb, a
suite of stacks and class drivers for full- and high-speed USB
implementations. Knowing today’s need for the integration of software
components into the RTOS, Quadros Systems specifically developed RTXCusb to
support the growing number of embedded developers who want to integrate USB
plug-and-play functionality into their products.
After becoming the dominant standard for connecting personal computers to
peripherals such as printers, mice, keyboards, and external memory, USB has
moved rapidly into the embedded space. Popular USB implementations involve
embedded devices that connect to PCs for diagnostics, service, repair and
data analysis. USB technology is also commonly used for removable storage
and to connect human interface devices. As USB technology makes its way into
more and more embedded devices, Quadros Systems’ customers are implementing
this technology across a range of applications such as factory automation,
transportation, building control and security, point-of-sale, and
environmental controls.
"Embedded developers are asking us to deliver more comprehensive solutions,"
said Tom Barrett, president of Quadros Systems. "This trend is driven
primarily by shorter design windows and smaller development teams, and
complemented by the growing number of silicon manufacturers who are
delivering highly integrated processors. RTXCusb gives our customers the
confidence of a comprehensive USB solution, integrated with the RTXC RTOS
family."
The RTXCusb host side solution includes a host stack and host side class
drivers for human interface devices (HID) mass storage, and printers.
Controller drivers are available to support OHCI, UHCI and EHCI standards.
The RTXCusb device side solution includes a device stack with class drivers
for HID, mass storage, and CDC Ethernet. Sample drivers are provided for
device side controllers. The RTXCusb suite supports both full speed (v1.1)
and high speed (v2.0) standards. The RTXCusb class driver structure is
readily extensible to support other classes and applications.
Availability and Pricing
The RTXCusb suite is available immediately. Single project licenses start under $10,000.
About the RTXC Quadros Family of Real-time Operating Systems
RTXC/dm is one of four highly scalable real-time operating systems
in the RTXC Quadros family, offering distinct performance advantages
for each of the major processing models. RTXC/ss (single stack)
utilizes a lightweight specialized executive to support high data
rate and signal processing applications. RTXC/ms (multi-stack)
is optimized for control processing using an event-driven,
prioritized, preemptive scheduler. RTXC/dm (dual mode) marries
RTXC/ms and RTXC/ss and is ideal for convergent processing
applications which combine DSP/dataflow and RISC/control processing
in a single-core architecture. Both RTXC/ms and RTXC/dm are
brought together under RTXC/mp (multiprocessing) in various
combinations to support multicore and multiprocessor implementations.
About Quadros, Systems, Inc.
Quadros Systems, Inc. develops and markets RTXC technology, bringing
together RTOS, hardware and software professionals into one development
team to provide innovative technology that maximizes real-time
responsiveness and eases the development process for customers. In
addition to the RTXC RTOS family, Quadros Systems offers a wide range
of communications stacks and middleware including RTXC Quadnet (a suite
of integrated communications protocols) and RTXCflashfile (a high
performance file system for resident flash devices). RTXC products
have been deployed worldwide in thousands of embedded systems, serving
markets such as communications, medical, and industrial automation.
