September 1, 2009 — Green Hills Software announced its embedded software development solution for the Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) OMAP-L137 low-power applications processor based on the ARM926EJ-S core. The ARM-optimized solution includes the INTEGRITY real-time operating system (RTOS), MULTI integrated development environment (IDE), optimizing C/C++ compilers, and Green Hills Probe. Green Hills Software brings more than 27 years of experience in the embedded market to TI’s OMAP-L137 processor, enabling developers to create and deploy reliable, high-performance products for industrial control, networking, transportation, medical, and a wide variety of other embedded applications in the least amount of time and at the lowest cost.
INTEGRITY for the TI OMAP-L137 processor
The INTEGRITY RTOS’s unique and modern technology achieves unprecedented levels of security, safety, and availability for applications in industrial control, networking, transportation, medical, and other industries. The INTEGRITY RTOS is the foundation for Green Hills Software’s Platform for Medical Devices, providing automatically generated artifacts for FDA submissions, and for the Platform for Industrial Safety, with certification by TÜV to IEC 61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3). INTEGRITY is also the first and only operating system technology certified to EAL6+ High Robustness, the highest Common Criteria security level ever achieved by a software product.
Only an EAL6+ High Robustness operating system is certified to protect high value resources at risk of attack from hostile and well-funded attackers. This is secure by anyone’s definition. In addition to the INTEGRITY real-time operating system, the integrated Green Hills software development solution for the OMAP-L137 device consists of the following components:
- Comprehensive portfolio of embedded communications, file systems, and other middleware
- MULTI integrated development environment – providing the leading software development tool set for embedded software developers
- Green Hills Optimized C/C++ compilers – generating highest-performance and smallest-footprint code for the ARM Architecture
- Green Hills Probe – providing low-level control of the ARM core for device driver development, board bring-up, and system debuggingAbout the TI OMAP-L137 ProcessorThe OMAP-L137 is a low-power applications processor based on an ARM926EJ-S and a TMS320C674x fixed- and floating-point digital signal processor (DSP) with both cores running at 300MHz.
The OMAP-L137 enables OEMs and ODMs to quickly bring to market devices featuring robust operating systems support, multiple connectivity options, rich user interfaces, and high processing performance.
The OMAP-L137 integrates numerous peripherals, including Ethernet, I2C, SPI, audio, UART, and USB.
