Imagination Technologies and Express Logic announce expansion of ThreadX RTOS support for MIPS CPUs
13 March 2017 - 6:10PM
Imagination Technologies (IMG.L) and Express Logic announce
expanded support of Express Logic’s industrial grade ThreadX® RTOS
(real time operating system) for Imagination’s MIPS CPUs, with the
addition of the multi-threaded MIPS I-class I6400 processor core.
This development extends ThreadX support of multiple generations of
MIPS CPUs which range from deeply embedded M-class cores to
high-performance I-class applications processors.
ThreadX, Express Logic's advanced RTOS, is designed specifically
for deeply embedded, real-time, and IoT applications, and has more
than 5.4 billion deployments to-date. With an advanced feature set
and highly scalable performance, 64-bit MIPS I6400 CPUs are seeing
adoption across a broad set of applications including digital home,
automotive, AI, real-time embedded and networking equipment. For
these applications, the combination of the I6400 with ThreadX
provides developers with a small footprint, scalable and highly
efficient solution.
William E. Lamie, president, Express Logic, says: “MIPS I-class
CPUs are gaining traction for a number of real-time embedded
environments where ThreadX is the RTOS of choice. Companies looking
for a safe, secure, fast and compact operating system for MIPS CPUs
can rely on our ThreadX and ThreadX/SMP RTOSes to provide the
performance and features they need to succeed.”
Says Jim Nicholas, EVP MIPS Processor IP, Imagination: “The
hardware multi-threading technology in our I-class processors
brings significant advantages to real time embedded systems, and
allows developers to efficiently exploit inherent parallelism in
their workloads. We see ThreadX as an important part of the
ecosystem that MIPS is addressing so we are delighted to extend our
partnership with Express Logic to enable customers to use the
ThreadX RTOS on the I6400 CPU.”
Availability ThreadX for the MIPS I6400 CPU is
available from Express Logic. For information about ThreadX support
