Green Hills software supports Intel processors

The solution includes the Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) and virtualisation technology, Multi integrated development environment (IDE), optimising C/C++ compilers, and Doublecheck static analyser.

The Integrity RTOS uses modern technology to achieve high levels of security, safety and availability for applications in industrial control, transportation, medical, aerospace and other industries.

Integrity is the foundation for Green Hills Software's Platform for Industrial Safety, with certification by TUV to IEC 61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3).

It is also the first operating system technology certified to EAL6+ High Robustness.

With open standards support, POSIX conformant interfaces, and the ability to host general purpose operating systems, such as Linux, in virtual machines, Integrity can run more application software than any other operating platform, claims Green Hills.

At the same time, Integrity maintains the highest level of security and real-time determinism for critical components, algorithms, applications and subsystems.

'We are pleased to support the industrial temperature options for the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series,' said Dan Mender, vice-president of business development, Green Hills Software.

'Modern embedded system designs place ambitious reliability, time-to-market, and time-in-market demands on hardware and software designers.

'The combination of Integrity and the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series platform provides a solution to this challenge,' he added.

'We recently added industrial temperature options to the Intel Atom processor platform for our embedded customers who need to deploy low-power products in unconstrained thermal environments,' said Jonathan Luse, director of marketing, Intel Low Power Embedded Products Division.

'The Intel Atom processor Z5xx series platform provides a robust performance-per-watt solution for running Green Hills Software's tools and operating systems in the industrial and automotive market segments.' In addition to the Integrity real-time operating system, the integrated Green Hills software development solution for the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series consists of the following: portfolio of embedded communications, file systems, and other middleware Multi integrated development environment; Green Hills optimised C/C++ compilers; and the Doublecheck integrated static analyser.
