Integrated Systems announces support for Motorola ColdFire embedded microprocessor; to provide ideal solution for consumer electronics from communications to multimedia.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 1995--Integrated Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INTS INTS Interdisciplinary Studies INTS International Neurotrauma Symposium INTS Integrated NIMA Telecomm System INTS Improved Night Targeting System ) today announced that its industry leading pSOSystem(TM) embedded 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. and development environment will support the new ColdFire(TM) Processor Family starting with Motorola MCF5102(TM) embedded microprocessor Embedded microprocessors are essentially microprocessors that are used in everyday electronic devices, such as cellular telephones, household appliances, automobiles, or virtually any electronic device you could think of. . The MCF5102 microprocessor is specifically designed to meet the needs of advanced consumer electronics. The Motorola ColdFire architecture provides the means to achieve price/performance points uncharacteristic of products offered on the market today. The MCF5102 microprocessor allows for high performance, low 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. cost and tool compatibility benefits. The pSOSystem port for the MCF5102 chip is expected to be available from Integrated Systems this summer. Fred Stotz, Tools Program manager for Motorola's High Performance 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, explains: "A robust, reliable real-time operating system such as Integrated Systems' pSOS+ is critical to today's embedded applications. Its historic strength with the 68K architecture makes it an ideal partner with ColdFire." Moses Joseph, Integrated Systems' vice president, marketing, states: "The low power and small footprint of ColdFire provides significant advantages for developing cost-sensitive embedded applications. This, combined with ColdFire's unique use of the 68K instruction set as a foundation makes it extremely well-adapted for use in interactive multimedia, communications, and office automation industries where our pSOSystem development environment and operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. are strong." The pSOSystem Family includes pSOS+ and pSOS+m (multiprocessing), the world's fastest growing real-time operating system kernels; the industry's most advanced visual debugging Visual debugging Visualization of computer program state and program execution to facilitate understanding and, if necessary, alteration of the program. Debuggers are universal tools for understanding what is going on when a program is executed. and analysis tool, ESp(TM); and advanced networking capabilities including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. ) and OpEN(TM) (Open protocol Embedded Networking) software which allows any STREAMS-compliant networking protocol to work with the pSOS+ operating system. With OpEN software, developers only need to write an application once to support multiple protocols. Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector Having 1994 worldwide sales of $6.9 billion, Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector is the largest U.S.-based broad line supplier of semiconductors, with a balanced portfolio of more than 50,000 devices. Motorola is one of the world's leading providers of wireless communications, semiconductors, and advanced electronic systems and services. Major equipment businesses include cellular telephone, two-way radio, paging and data communications, personal communications, automotive, defense and space electronics and computers. Communication devices, computers and millions of consumer products are powered by Motorola semiconductors. Motorola's 1994 sales were $22.2 billion. Integrated Systems, Inc. Headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., Integrated Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:INTS) is a leading worldwide provider of software development tools for the communications, automotive, multimedia/entertainment, office/retail automation, aerospace and process control industries. Its software helps manufacturers bring reliable, more fully-featured products to market faster.
