Development of Java card uses secure technology
Embedded with a multi-tasking kernel, DNP's Java Card OS can run real-time multiple applications, on a priority basis, with maximum security.
The Cortex-R4 processor enables configurability during synthesis to optimise the processor for different embedded applications through the memory protection unit, caches and tightly coupled memory (TCM).
It does this without compromising the underlying ARM instruction set compatibility, maximising the reuse of existing software investments by application developers and third parties.
"For many years the low power, low cost ARM processor has been the architecture of choice for embedded microprocessor applications", said Will Strauss, President and Principal Analyst, Forward Concepts.
