June 25, 2009 — RoweBots released Unison Version 4 for ARM Cortex-M3 processors. This ultra-tiny embedded-Linux compatible RTOS opens Texas Instruments Stellaris microcontroller (MCU) families to Linux and POSIX compatible development for the first time.Unison OS and Stellaris MCUs are well suited to a broad set of applications including industrial automation, power management and networking applications. Unison increases embedded development productivity and reliability for Stellaris developers by substantially reducing the time and difficulty required to develop complex systems. OEM developers can create improved applications with standard reusable components supported by the Unison product, TI’s Stellaris MCUs and CodeSourcery tools.
Over 20 Unison demonstration programs run out of the box on Stellaris evaluation and development kits in just 10 minutes. The Unison ultra-tiny Linux offering provides seamless support including:
- Integrated embedded OS with complete documentation
- Full POSIX and Linux capabilities in a tiny footprint to minimize training time and processor size
- Risk mitigation using standards and standard tests
- Free development and source code
- Complete off-the-shelf I/O including networking and file systems
- Seamless integration with the CodeSourcery tools and Eclipse IDE
- 20 DSP features
- Complete indemnification
- Seamless migration between MCU products without code changes
- Low-cost deployment licensesLost time to market, customers disappointed with product quality, and missed product price points are three of the biggest problems OEM developers must overcome.
Unison solves these problems when used with TI’s Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCUs using open source technology.
Open-source licenses start at $695 USD.
