Green Hills Software has announced that its µ-velOSity RTOS is available for the NEC Electronics V850 family of embedded microcontrollers.

The RTOS has a ROM footprint as small as 2KB, RAM footprint as small as 1KB and service call times as low as 30 cycles.

With complete kernel source code and MULTI's kernel-aware debugging and project-creation wizard, V850 device software can be used to develop, analyse, debug and test the system.

Fast real-time, deterministic execution is supported and context switching, service calls, and interrupt handling for V850 are tuned for maximum throughput and minimum latency, even under heavy loads.
