Green Hills Software Announces Support for
Freescale’s MPC5121e Microprocessor
Immediate Availability of Software Solution for Versatile Multicore
Processor
SANTA BARBARA, CA—March 31, 2008 — Green Hills Software,
Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced the immediate availability
of its comprehensive software development solution targeting Freescale’s
MPC5121e microprocessor, built on Power Architecture™ technology.
Components of the Green Hills Software development toolkit include royalty-free
RTOSes, optimizing
C/C++ compilers for Power Architecture technology, MULTI integrated
development environment (IDE), virtual
prototyping platform, and high-speed hardware
probes.
Green Hills Software’s uniquely innovative and integrated technology
enables developers to create high-performance, highly reliable consumer,
industrial/commercial and automotive products, based on the MPC5121e
processor, in the least amount of time and at the lowest cost.
“Embedded developers are looking to industry leaders like Green
Hills and Freescale for optimized real-time embedded systems solutions,” said
Mike Bryars, manager of Freescale’s infotainment, multimedia and
telematics operation. “Green Hills delivers a comprehensive enablement
suite designed to address customer requirements for high-quality development
tools and real-time operating system support for the MPC5121e processor.”
“We are pleased to announce the addition of MPC5121e support to
the Green Hills Software product line already used by many customers
of the Freescale mobileGT® MPC5200 family,” stated David Kleidermacher,
chief technology officer, Green Hills Software. “The MPC5121e,
with its highly integrated architecture, enables developers to create
richer next-generation applications while achieving optimum reliability,
security, and performance.”
Green Hills Software Development Tools
Carmakers and their tier-1 suppliers throughout the world have sold millions
of automobiles and trucks with embedded microprocessors running software
built with Green Hills Software’s tools, because they help ensure
the quality and performance of embedded software. With more than ten
thousand users, such as developers at Ford and Toyota, the MULTI integrated
development environment is a proven technology for multicore software
development. Freescale regularly chooses the Green Hills compilers
to publish certified scores on the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark
Consortium (EEMBC) suite. The Green Hills development tool suite also
includes the DoubleCheck™ static
analyzer and a high speed virtual prototyping environment.
Royalty-free Real-time Operating Systems
Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY family
of RTOSes enables engineers to develop sophisticated yet highly reliable
applications. INTEGRITY, an open standards-conformant real-time operating
system, utilizes a number of hardware and software mechanisms in order
to implement a securely partitioned architecture that ensures time and
space protection and prevents errant and malicious tasks from corrupting
user data, the kernel, interprocess communications, device drivers and
other user tasks. INTEGRITY also enhances reliability and security by
guaranteeing deterministic response for all of its services. INTEGRITY
is integrated with a comprehensive set of middleware, including secure
networking, file systems, USB, and 2D/3D graphics.
About the MPC5121e
The MPC5121e is a powerful, feature-rich processor designed for a wide
range of consumer, industrial and automotive telematics and infotainment
applications. The device's multi-core architecture unites a Power Architecture
core with a dedicated 2D/3D graphics core and a powerful co-processor
enhanced for real-time audio and multimedia. The combined horsepower
makes this processor ideal for next-generation applications that require
sophisticated displays, graphics/multimedia acceleration, network connectivity
and mass storage. The MPC5121e processor is automotive-qualified, making
it ideal for telematics, connectivity and driver interactive vehicle
applications. The device meets the reliability requirements of the
AEC-Q100 standard and TS14969 specification and is designed to withstand
harsh environmental conditions. In addition to addressing telematics,
the MPC5121e device can be used in a broad range of embedded applications,
such as networked industrial control and security/surveillance systems,
networked patient monitoring systems, ultra-mobile PCs, and gaming
and digital home applications, such as media gateways and set-top boxes.
Availability
Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY real-time operating system, C/C++
compilers, Green Hills Probes, and advanced multi-core MULTI IDE are
available today for MPC5121e-based application development.
