Cyan Technology Delivers Internetworking Connectivity for Low-Power Devices.Business/Technology Editors JACKSONVILLE, Fla. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2002 CMX-MicroNet TCP/IP stack An implementation of the TCP/IP communications protocol. Network architectures designed in layers, such as TCP/IP, OSI and SNA, are called "stacks." See TCP/IP, OSI model and protocol stack. on eCOG1 communications engine offers best-in-class performance while significantly reducing application cost CMX Systems CMX Systems was a company founded jointly by CBS and Memorex, that developed some of the very first computerized systems for linear and non-linear editing of videotape for post production. The company's name, CMX, stood for CBS, Memorex, and eXperimental. , well-known designer of real-time operating systems and TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. software, and Cyan Technology, developers of low-power flash microcontrollers for today's connected devices, have launched the CMX-MicroNet(TM) TCP/IP stack on the eCOG1 16-bit engine. Thanks to a joint commitment to a low-cost, high-performance solution, the Cyan-CMX solution sharply reduces the cost of networking devices and Internet connectivity. To facilitate customer support, CMX CMX Corel Presentation Exchange (file extension) CMX Cisco Mobile Exchange CMX Cloaca Maxima (sewage system of ancient Rome; Finnish rock band) CMX Crisis Management Exercise and Cyan have formed a distribution agreement in which Cyan can directly offer the complete CMX-MicroNet solution to its clients. Focused on the low-power, real-time communications needs of developers, Cyan Technology offers a 16-bit flash microcontroller capable of running code at less than 10 microAmps and 25-MIPS execution speed. This tight power control and high performance is strongly complemented by CMX-MicroNet, a very small footprint TCP/IP software stack (1) A stack that is implemented in memory rather than in hardware registers. See stack. (2) A generic reference to a set of system programs or a set of application programs that form a complete system. See stack. , developed to provide networking and Internet connectivity for the most stringent real-time communication demands that the 8- and 16-bit designer faces. With the CMX-MicroNet stack and a rich assortment of communication peripherals, serial interfaces and timers, eCOG1 makes an ideal communications engine for Internet-enabled devices, hand-held instrumentation, intelligent sensors, and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). peripherals.

Given the complete integration of CMX-MicroNet to eCOG1, the networking and Internet connectivity aspects of the design are complete and developers can focus on the device application. With our no-royalty fee structure and Cyan's commitment to offer a low-cost hardware solution, Cyan can offer its customers an unmatched combination of price and performance that can be purchased directly from a single source." "Designers are being asked to integrate networking and Internet connectivity in a host of devices," notes David Griffiths David Griffiths may refer to:
Availability: The CMX-MicroNet TCP/IP stack is available directly from Cyan Technology starting at $5,500. eCOG1 sells for $10 per 10,000. The comprehensive eCOG1 Development Kit offers an eCOG1 development board priced at $299 and a free set of software development tools that includes an assembler, verified ANSI-C compiler, software simulator and in-circuit emulator/debugger. A CMX-MicroNet demo will be shipped freely to developers for evaluation along with the eCOG1 development tools.

About CMX-MicroNet: CMX-MicroNet is a scaled down TCP/IP software stack with a total ROM footprint of 3Kb - 20Kb, depending upon configuration, for 8-bit processors or those 16-bit processors that require a single-chip solution with no external memory. CMX-MicroNet supports more 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors than any other existing solution. CMX-MicroNet is currently available, starting at $5,500 for the base system. All CMX software includes complete source code, no royalties on shipped products, and free technical support/updates. About Cyan Technology eCOG1: Using an innovative 16-bit core originally developed by Cambridge Consultants Limited, Cyan Technology's microcontroller offers an impressive ratio of performance to power consumption. The core, based on a compact Harvard RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. architecture, offers a synchronous serial emulation interface that supports non-intrusive application development, debugging and testing. To enable developers to fully test and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. their eCOG1 applications in a customizable environment, Cyan Technology provides engineers with one of the most comprehensive development toolkits in the industry: the eCOG1 development board and free eCOG1 software development tools which include an assembler, verified C compiler Noun 1.
