Express Logic Announces ThreadX® RTOS Support for Freescale's Advanced i.MX27 Applications Processor

Express Logic, Inc., a worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), has announced that Express Logic’s ThreadX® RTOS now supports Freescale Semiconductor’s i.MX27 multimedia applications processor. ThreadX also supports Freescales’s i.MX21 and i.MX31 processors, as well as Freescale’s host processors containing Power Architecture™ technology and the ColdFire® architecture.

Derived from Freescale’s popular i.MX21 processor and based on the ARM926EJ-S™ core, the i.MX27 processor is the next step toward true high definition video in handhelds with the addition of an H.264 hardware codec for D1 high resolution video processing.

An Ethernet 10/100 MAC, security, plug-and-play connectivity, and more power management features make the i.MX27 processor an excellent choice for video and voice over Internet Protocol (V2IP) cordless and mobile phones, intelligent remote controls, point-of-sale terminals and many other mobile, industrial and general-purpose embedded applications. ThreadX is Express Logic’s small, fast, royalty-free RTOS for demanding real-time applications. Its royalty-free business model makes ThreadX extremely attractive for high-volume devices.
