WESTON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Micrium, a leading provider of high-quality embedded software
components, today expanded its rapidly growing family of uC/ products
to include uC/USB On-the-Go (OTG), a vendor-independent solution
designed to offer point-to-point device connectivity that primarily
targets such mobile consumer electronics products as PDAs, mobile
phones, digital cameras and portable storage devices. Micrium's
uC/USB-OTG allows portable electronics to exchange data directly with
PCs, or each other, without requiring a host.
uC/USB-OTG was developed in accordance with Micrium's strict
coding standards, naming conventions and source code quality metrics
designed to accelerate customers' time-to-market and enhance product
functionality.
"As consumers increasingly migrate to mobile applications, the
ability for electronic devices to communicate with one another and
facilitate data transfer has become a critical requirement," said Jean
Labrosse, president and CEO of Micrium. "uC/USB-OTG offers designers a
highly configurable 'on-the-go' option that is fully vendor
independent and can be implemented in any real-time kernel or native
host and device stack. This flexibility is one of the hallmarks of
Micrium's embedded components, and is designed into every product we
bring to the embedded market to ensure small footprints, simple
integrations and ultimately the fastest available time-to-market."
uC/USB-OTG introduces the dual-role device, which is able to
function as either host or peripheral. It is a USB On-the-Go software
stack, targeted for embedded devices with a USB OTG controller. It
implements HMP and SRP protocols, and is fully compatible with the OTG
supplement. uC/USB-OTG provides a real-time kernel adaption layer and
code for integration with Micrium's uC/OS-II real time operating
system (RTOS). The product is available now, and can be downloaded for
purchase at http://www.micrium.com.
Product Highlights
Development Environment: uC/USB-OTG is written in portable ANSI-C
and is compatible with most 8-, 16-, 32- and even 64-bit CPUs or DSPs.
A C++ compiler is not required, but uC/USB-OTG can be used in C++
based applications.
Designed for Embedded Systems: uC/USB-OTG is designed specifically
for resource constrained embedded applications.
Memory Footprint: uC/USB-OTG footprint can be scaled to only
contain the features needed for a specific application.
RTOS Support: uC/USB-OTG assumes the presence of a real-time
kernel, but doesn't make any assumptions about which one it uses.
uC/USB-OTG contains an OS abstraction layer that allows it to be used
with just about any real-time kernel.
