Safety-critical certification pack for
ThreadX RTOS from Express Logic
Express Logic has made available market-specific, turnkey,
Safety-Critical Certification Pack products for its ThreadX
RTOS. Safety-Critical Certification Pack for ThreadX, can
now help embedded system equipment manufacturers save time
in verification and validation effort in complying with
reliability and safety-critical standards.
For European customers, Express Logic's Safety-Critical
Certification Pack supports such standards as IEC-61508
for Industrial Equipment, IEC-62304 for Medical Devices,
EUROCAE ED-12B for Aerospace, and the newly globalized rail
standard IEC-62279 (formerly known as BS/EN-50128).
Express Logic claims with ThreadX and the appropriate Safety-Critical
Certification Pack for their application, manufacturers
can mitigate their development risk by using a proven, readily-certifiable
RTOS for a fraction of the cost of alternate solutions.
The ThreadX Safety-Critical Certification Pack includes
all source code, documentation, coverage analysis, validation
artifacts, and summary report for submission to the governing
agency as part of the overall system certification. Each
Pack is pre-tailored for the specific standard addressed
(e.g., IEC 61508), the Operating System used (i.e., ThreadX),
and the Target Environment (i.e., processor, board, development
tools, etc.), leaving nothing for the customer to do, but
submit the evidence to the certifying authority.
In another release Express Logic has also announced that
Express Logic's ThreadX RTOS now supporting Renesas Technology's
SH-2A core-based SH7216 microcontroller (MCU).
"Express Logic's leadership in royalty-free real-time
operating systems makes them an ideal fit for the high-volume
applications we target," said Robert Kalman, Marketing
Manager, Renesas Technology Europe. "ThreadX presents
a small memory footprint with an easy-to-use, rich set of
system services such as threads, message queues, counting
semaphores, and mutexes. Embedded developers wanting a taste
of our combined strengths can check out an evaluation version
and demonstration application available for our SH7216 MCUs."
Embdded system designers can buy ThreadX in full source
code form, royalty free, and at license prices starting
at $12,500.
