Quadros Systems Supports Latest ColdFire Processors
Small RTOS Footprint Enables Cost-Effective Single-Chip Mode
Freescale Technology Forum, Orlando, Florida, USA - June 21, 2005 -
Quadros Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of configurable and scaleable
real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced support for the
Freescale MCF521x family of microcontrollers, the most recent addition
to the ColdFire product line. The RTXC Quadros RTOS and integrated
middleware enable developers to take full advantage of the hardware
features of the MCF521x family including the ability to run the RTOS
and application software entirely on-chip with no external memory
required.
With its attractive price point, large integrated Flash and RAM and
multiple communications interfaces, the MCF521x processor family is an
ideal choice for system developers who are looking to move up to
a 32-bit platform. The small, scalable footprint of the RTXC Quadros
RTOS enables developers to use these processors in single-chip mode
with no external memory, speeding application execution time and
reducing system cost.
"Freescale Semiconductor continues to introduce innovative products in
the ColdFire family that offer excellent performance and value," said
Stephen Martin, director of marketing for Quadros Systems. "We are
pleased to be able to partner with Freescale to complement these devices
with a broad portfolio of application-ready software."
The combined features of Freescale’s MCF521x microcontrollers and
Quadros Systems' software make them ideally suited for a variety of
cost-sensitive networked applications. These include industrial control
and factory automation, building controls, remote sensing and
monitoring, point-of-sale terminals and biometrics.
Quadros Systems offers an extensive suite of middleware integrated with
the RTXC RTOS including RTXC Quadnet TCP/IP, IPsec/IKE security module,
RTXCflashfile, CAN and USB. Quadros Systems solutions are scalable
across the entire ColdFire family, reducing learning curve for new
projects and preserving application code. For more information, visit

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.
