High Integrity Systems and InterNiche Release Fully Integrated Middleware for Cortex-M3

* Simplifies rapid, low cost embedded development
* One source for fully integrated embedded software
* Free integrated evaluation available to download

BRISTOL, England--(Business Wire)--
WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems and InterNiche Technologies Inc. have
extended the range of solutions available under their cross distribution
agreement which gives their respective customers better access to a complete
range of integrated products.

The fully integrated `CONNECT` solution contains OpenRTOS, FAT File System, USB
Host and InterNiche TCP/IP networking on Cortex-M3 and is now available as a
free download for evaluation. The downloads are pre-configured for rapid
evaluation to give developers `no-fuss` access to the software and allow them to
evaluate the target system without the need to struggle with tools and
integration. The integrated solution is available for a wide range of embedded
controllers with new demos available for LPC17xx using the CodeRed Red Suite and
the Rowley CrossWorks development environments.

InterNiche is the leading independent supplier of embedded protocol software
with TCP/IP stacks, embedded device management software such as HTTP Server and
SNMP and security modules such as IPSec and SSL.

High Integrity Systems is renowned for real time operating systems that are
based on the open source kernel, FreeRTOS. Its SafeRTOS is SIL3 pre-certified
for safety critical applications. Its OpenRTOS CONNECT brings USB and FAT file
system functionality with full commercial support to FreeRTOS, allowing
developers to create applications for free before upgrading to benefit from the
supported kernel. FreeRTOS was downloaded almost 80,000 times last year.

"InterNiche has offered support for all RTOSes and High Integrity Systems shares
this belief in platform independence. We believe that our integration of
OPENRTOS will result in the needs of developers being better served," commented
InterNiche president, Larry Larder. "This agreement allows us to provide a wide
range of integrated solutions to those customers that prefer to use a commercial
RTOS."

David Brook, High Integrity Systems` head of sales and marketing said, "It`s
vital for embedded software developers to be able to quickly establish an
environment for developing their application. By creating a simple approach to
integration and evaluation, our customers can more easily and more quickly
deliver innovative devices."
