Micrium has announced the first demonstration of its µC/OS-III RTOS kernel running on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC board during ARM TechCon. µC/OS-III is a commercial RTOS supporting all Xilinx processors under a single API; including ARM Cortex A9 and A53, ARM Cortex R5 and Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor. Micrium's support across all Xilinx processor types allows developers to focus on application development, deploying to the optimal processor for their system architecture.

Jean Labrosse, President and CEO, Micrium, commented: "The reality is that applications continue to increase in complexity, and markets such as automotive and wireless infrastructure simply require highly reliable embedded software components. As such, the reasons to use a RTOS like µC/OS-III that is proven in safety-critical applications is more important than ever."

The Xilinx All Programmable Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC combines several user programmable processors including a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 application processing unit, a dual-core 32-bit ARM Cortex-R5 real time processing unit and the creation of multiple Xilinx MicroBlaze instances within the programmable logic. Micrium supports the platform with µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III and components, including µC/TCP-IP, µC/USB and µC/FS.

"Micrium's µC/OS RTOS kernel is the leading commercial, safety-certifiable RTOS with a long history supporting ARM cores. The benefit of using a commercial RTOS and giving end users the capability to use a single operating system for all cores clearly simplifies application design, making it an ideal solution for our multi-core platform," said Satish Swarnkar, Senior Director, Embedded Software Marketing, Xilinx.
