Atmel Announces Royalty Free NORTi's OS for its AVR32 UC3 32-bit Flash MCUs
Atmel Corporation announced today the availability of the popular uITRON 4.0 compliant NORTi operating system for its AT32UC3 32-bit Flash microcontrollers
NORTi is a royalty-free operating system with a small memory footprint and a low performance overhead making it ideally suited for the powerful UC3 Flash microcontroller family. Being among the most popular operating systems in Japan and developed by MiSPO, NORTi includes uITRON 4.0 RTOS and a TCP/IP protocol stack and includes C source code. The offering includes support from our Japanese partner StepOne.
"The availability of uITRON-based NORTi RTOS is an important milestone in our launch of the AVR®32 UC3 flash microcontrollers in Japan," said Hirohiko Onishi, Japan Sales Director. "NORTi, in combination with the outstanding real-time performances of our AVR32 architecture, offers unprecedented value in the embedded market," he concluded.
"We have decided to port NORTi to the AVR32 UC3 architecture because we believe that it brings innovative features to the 32-bit market," said Hisanori Miyazaki, MiSPO President. "Customers reduce their cycle time resulting from the stable NORTi RTOS and as well NORTi facilitates the use of the software property of uITRON-based."
The AVR32 UC3 core is the first 32-bit microprocessor core in the industry to integrate single-cycle read/write SRAM with a direct interface to the pipeline that bypasses the system bus to achieve faster execution, better deterministic behavior and lower power consumption. The core today delivers up to 1.49 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz, running from on-chip flash memory. The AVR32 UC3 includes advanced features such as DSP arithmetic, single-cycle multiply and accumulate instructions and atomic bit or word read-modify-write instructions. The key benefits are high computational throughput, deterministic and real-time control, low power, low system cost, high reliability and ease of use. In addition, a peripheral DMA controller and multi-layer high speed bus architecture, makes UC3 core ideal for high throughput applications. UC3 devices are perfectly suited for portable and battery-based applications thanks to its outstanding performance/power consumption ratio up to 1.08 DMIPS per mW.
AT32UC3 microcontrollers rich feature set includes up to 512 KB Flash, up to 64 KB SRAM, Ethernet MAC, Full Speed USB with OTG, 10-bit ADC, SPIs, SSC, two-wire interface (I2C compatible), UARTs, general purpose timers, thirteen pulse width modulators and a full set of supervisory functions.
