RTOS from DDC-I now supports AMCC PowerPC 440 processor core

Deos safety-critical real-time operating system and OpenArbor development tool suite from DDC-I now available for applications using AMCC's (now AppliedMicro) PowerPC 440 core, and also be available out of the box for Embedded Planet's EP440C single-board computer, which provides a development and prototyping environment for applications targeting the PowerPC 440EP processor.

The AMCC PowerPC 440 is a high-performance, 32-bit processors based on the Book E Enhanced PowerPC Architecture that Support speeds of up to 533 MHz, the low-power, small-form-factor processors features a superscalar PowerPC 440 core with large L1 caches and high-speed IBM CoreConnect bus technology.

OpenArbor also provides run-time target options, from the robust Deos RTOS through minimal bare-board run-time systems.

"Deos provides the lowest risk, lowest cost, and fastest path to FAA certification of any certifiable COTS RTOS," said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing at DDC-I. "It also provides unique slack scheduling capabilities that enable developers to take full advantage of the performance of AMCC's PowerPC processors in a safety-critical environment. We look forward to working with AMCC and our customers to create best-in-class safety-critical platforms that combine our industry leading DO-178B certifiable Deos RTOS with AMCC's versatile PowerPC processors."

"AMCC's PowerPC 440 processors provide a unique blend of high performance and low power coupled with rich I/O, networking and multimedia functionality," added Chris Bergen, director of systems engineering at AMCC. "DDC-I's Deos RTOS provides an excellent platform for developing, hosting, and certifying a broad range of safety-critical applications targeting our world class PowerPC processors."
