Micrium's embedded software fully support ARM Cortex M1 and M3

Following the trends of ARM's Cortex processor family becoming more dominant in the market, leading OS vendors are focusing more on tuning their products for Cortex processor family. Micrium has announced its RTOS software is implemented in initial verification of Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M1 Processors. The embedded software products from Micrium, which have been ported to the ARM Cortex -M1 and Cortex-M3 processors are uC/OS-II, uC/TCP-IP, uC/USB and uC/FS.


Given ARM's focus on meeting the requirements of a small core footprint, code density that enables smaller memories, reduced pin count and low power consumption, Micrium's embedded system components are a strong fit for the Cortex-M processor series," said Eric Schorn, VP Marketing, Processors Division, ARM.

ARM Cortex-M1 and Cortex-M3 processors represent an ideal platform for Micrium's uC/Probe embedded system monitoring tool, as it does not require monitoring code in the target device. Since the processor's serial wire debug (SWD) does not interfere with CPU operation, or halt the CPU when obtaining or setting variables in the target, it enables real-time viewers like uC/Probe to provide close to real-time data to its user.
