Datalight Offers FlashFX Adaptation Kit for Use with Nucleus Operating System from Accelerated Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 8, 2003 Datalight announced today it has released its FlashFX(R) Adaptation Kit for the Mentor Graphics/Accelerated Technology (AT) Nucleus(TM) Real-Time Operating System (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ) for customers who are using flash memory in their system designs. The FlashFX Adaptation Kit for the Nucleus RTOS Nucleus RTOS is a real-time operating system (RTOS) and full-featured toolset created by the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics for various CPU platforms. Nucleus RTOS is part of a complete embedded solution with a full complement of embedded middleware available. provides a comprehensive and robust solution for managing flash memory. "We're seeing a dramatic increase in the need for high density and persistent flash-based storage and now we have a proven flash memory solution that works well with the Nucleus RTOS," said Robert Day Robert Day (1836-1914) was an Irish antiquarian and photographer. Biography Day was involved in his family's extensive saddlery business together with a sports shop well known to Cork anglers. , director of marketing, Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Division of Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. . "The FlashFX Adaptation Kit for the Nucleus RTOS allows our customers to easily configure any flash memory device and OS-supported CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. within our operating platform." Flash memory made easy. The FlashFX Adaptation Kit for the Nucleus RTOS is a full-featured version of FlashFX tailored for use specifically with the Nucleus operating system. It installs directly into the development environment and is ready to use with minimal configuration changes. Engineers can easily configure FlashFX to support different flash memory technologies including NOR and NAND (Not AND) A Boolean logic operation that is true if any single input is false. Two-input NAND gates are often used as the sole logic element on gate array chips, because all Boolean operations can be created from NAND gates. See flash memory. and the ability to switch to other embedded CPUs, which saves hours of re-programming time. The patented technology of FlashFX makes flash memory appear as a disk drive to the operating system, allowing applications to read and write to the storage area without special, non-standard program interfaces. Additionally, FlashFX transparently provides wear-leveling and bad-block management, extending the life of the embedded device. This simplifies the application development process, cuts development time, and makes more efficient use of system resources. Nucleus -- the real-time operating system. The Nucleus RTOS is a royalty-free, highly portable operating system with support for a wide range of embedded CPUs. It's an out-of-the-box solution delivered on reference design hardware of the customer's choosing to deliver the best possible real-time, deterministic solution. Nucleus software has been used in a broad selection of applications ranging from telecommunications, networking and portable devices to industrial control and medical instrumentation.
