Simple and robust embedded applications

EDALab realized the porting of the eCos RTOS for the ATMEL ARM926EJ processor family (eg. ARM9G45, ARM9G20 ...). The main advantages obtained with eCos are:

• Open Source:

  the source code of the core operating system is free and available.

• Small Footprint:

  the amount of memory required for the system to run application can be only few kilobytes.

• Quick bootstrap:

  the application is booted immediately.

• Real time scheduler:

  it has two types of scheduler to better deal task synchronization and timeing constraints

• Great configuration tool:

  the configuration tool allows to create image files optimized for your system.

EDALab encourages the use of a roubust and modular operating system when developing embedded applications in order to obtain flexibility and maintenability of the final system. The resulting source code is more readable and more simple, so that developers can easily customize the application behavior during the life-cycle of the embedded system. The modularity allows to focus on single functionalities rather than on the application as a whole and the final system is the result of the integration of many different skills.

eCos is a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) that comes with a number of interesting features that EDALab can make available to the customers. eCos is open-source and the source code is available from the project main site for many different platforms. eCos is delivered with a powerful configuration tool that allows delvelopers to manage and select the components to be included in the project.
