Express Logic and IAR Systems Team Up to Provide ThreadX(R) RTOS Support in IAR Embedded Workbench(R) IDE for Freescale ColdFire(R)
IAR Systems tools provide comprehensive ColdFire IDE including
kernel aware debugging for ThreadX RTOS
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free
real-time operating systems (RTOS), and IAR Systems, the world-leading
supplier of tools for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontrollers, today
announced that IAR Embedded Workbench now supports Express Logic's
ThreadX RTOS. Developers using ThreadX now can elect to use IAR
Embedded Workbench IDE for their ColdFire software development tools.
IAR Embedded Workbench, with support for ColdFire V1, V2 and V3
cores, is a set of highly sophisticated and easy-to-use development
tools--C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor,
project manager, and debugger--combined in an integrated development
environment (IDE) for programming embedded applications. With its
built-in chip-specific code optimizer, IAR Embedded Workbench
generates very efficient and reliable flash/PROMable code for ColdFire
devices. IAR Embedded Workbench includes a ThreadX-aware debugger that
helps developers view kernel objects (threads, queues, semaphores,
mutexes, etc.) during application development.
Express Logic's ThreadX RTOS is a popular small-footprint, fast,
easy-to-use RTOS for ColdFire-based applications. ThreadX supports
ColdFire application development with a preemptive real-time
scheduler, memory allocation/deallocation, fast interrupt handling,
and many other RTOS services. ThreadX helps developers speed
application development and time-to-market with its intuitive API and
excellent documentation and support. With over 450 million
ThreadX-powered products deployed, ThreadX is one of the most widely
used RTOSes for embedded systems in consumer electronics, medical
equipment, industrial automation, wireless networking, and automotive
applications.
"IAR Systems consistently provides superior tools and support to
its customers," noted William E. Lamie, President of Express Logic.
"That support for ThreadX is included in IAR Systems' initial offering
is a tribute to the reliable nature of our RTOS. Our combined
resources on the ColdFire platform will speed product development."
"Many of our existing customers have enjoyed using ThreadX in
their ARM-based designs, making ThreadX support a clear priority for
our new ColdFire tools," noted Anders Flodin, Director of Business
Development at IAR Systems. "We are very pleased to be able to enable
developers to choose this excellent tools-RTOS combination for
ColdFire-based applications."

ThreadX support for IAR Embedded Workbench for ColdFire is
available from Express Logic, and IAR Embedded Workbench for ColdFire
