Green Hills launches software for Intel processor

Green Hills Software has announced the immediate availability of its embedded software development package for the Intel Atom processor N270.

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

Green Hills said that the launch of Integrity for the Intel Atom processor N270 will enable customers to create and deploy reliable, high-performance products for industrial control, mobile thin clients, HMI (Human Machine Interface) and print imaging in the least amount of time, at a low cost.

The Integrity RTOS technology achieves reliability, availability and certification in a variety of applications.

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

The Integrity RTOS separation architecture allows customers the flexibility to run multiple protocols as separate, independent applications.

The secure partitioning capability of Integrity enables software to be partitioned on a single processor.

Each partition can then be certified at its appropriate Safety Integrity Level, eliminating the need for separate physical systems or certification of code beyond the required safety level.

The integrated Green Hills software package for the Intel Atom processor N270 also consists of embedded communication stacks and middleware.

The Intel Atom processor N270, based on Intel 45nm Hi-k metal-gate silicon technology, is power-optimised and delivers robust performance-per-watt.

This single-core processor is validated with the Intel 82945GSE Graphics Memory Controller Hub and Intel I/O Controller Hub 7-M.

The chipset features power-efficient graphics with an integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine based on Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 architecture with SDVO, LVDS, CRT and TV-out display ports.

It provides flexibility via high-bandwidth interfaces such as PCI Express, PCI, Serial ATA, and high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity.

It also includes a single channel for 400/533MHz DDR2 system memory (SODIMM or memory down), and an Intel high-definition audio interface.
