Embedded: Real-Time Operating System Supports FPGA Soft Processor

ThreadX from Express Logic now works with the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit 6.1i (EDK) and supports the Xilinx 32-bit MicroBlaze soft processor. The MicroBlaze processor uses a Harvard-style RISC architecture. ThreadX and MicroBlaze work with other Express Logic offerings, including the NetX network stack, FileX file management, and PegX graphics. The company's picokernel high-performance design is also extremely compact, as small as 3 kbytes. ThreadX for MicroBlaze is available, starting at $12,500 for a single-product, royalty-free license.
