ARM MCUs Gain Compact RTOS And Protocol Stacks

June 9, 2005

ARM processors are the quarry of CMX's latest operating-system and protocol-stack versions, including CMX-RTX and CMX-Tiny+ operating systems. Protocol stacks like CMX-Micronet and CMX TCP/IP can fit into as little as 3.5 kbytes of flash. The latter includes an HTTP server, FTP, TFTP, and Telnet and BOOTP servers. The stacks support a range of interfaces, including serial and Ethernet connections. The CMX-FFS (flash file system), CMX-FFS-NAND, and CMX-FFS-FAT provide nonvolatile memory support. The CMX-CANopen module offers CMX-RTX with CANopen connectivity. These packages include full source code, and they can be compiled using ARM RealView, GNU, IAR, and KEIL compilers. Pricing starts at $2900.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
