System-critical platform for graphics-rich embedded design

Rich graphics and intuitive user interfaces are essential components of many embedded devices - from mobile phones to automotive instrument clusters to complex industrial machines on the factory floor. At the same time, commerce and government regulations are requiring these same devices to guarantee higher levels of safety, security or reliability.

INTEGRITY RTOS has achieved the highest functional safety certification levels in industrial, medical, automotive and railway, and delivers real-time determinism with high performance by leveraging a processor’s performance accelerators including the GPU and MMU. Storyboard Suite bridges the time-consuming gap between UI designers and software engineers, enabling parallel and processor-independent development and deployment.

Dan Mender, Vice President, Business Development, Green Hills Software, comments: “Crank Software uniquely bridges the gap between UI design and embedded systems by streamlining the development lifecycle and enabling customers to get products to market faster. Our partnership with Crank Software provides customers an integrated software solution that secures confidential content from malicious attacks and unwanted access by relying on the industry’s most trusted real-time operating system - INTEGRITY - and its award winning security architecture.”
