Express Logic and IAR Systems have highlighted the widespread nature of embedded 32-bit MCU designs and announced a commercial-grade integration combining Express Logic's ThreadX RTOS and IAR Embedded Workbench IDE for developers of embedded applications.
Both Express Logic and IAR Systems products support the most commonly used 32-bit architectures including ARM's ARM7, ARM9 and Cortex-M3, Freescale's ColdFire, NEC's V850, and Renesas's H8.
ThreadX RTOS has been structured for use with IAR's Embedded Workbench IDE in a source code project. Developers can compile and build the RTOS library and link it with their application code that uses its services. Embedded Workbench provides all the editing, compilation, debugging, and version control facilities to support embedded development.
In a separate move, IAR Embedded Workbench has been selected as a part of Fujitsu's SK-86R03 'Jade-L Starterkit' package.
