Accelerated Technology's Nucleus Software Provides Complete RTOS Support for Epson Processor
MOBILE, Ala.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 3, 2003—
Accelerated Technology(R), the Embedded Systems
Division of Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), today announced
the release of the Nucleus(R) Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for
the S1C33209 32-bit RISC processor from Seiko Epson Corporation
(Japan). This Nucleus release will give developers using the S1C33209
a complete, full-featured RTOS to address the high-performance needs
of building cellular, digital consumer and PC peripheral applications.
The S1C33209 chip is a high-performance, low-power processor that
can be used in a variety of products requiring optimal functionality.
In the case of cellular phones, the S1C33209 processor offers voice
compression, voice recognition and text-to-speech capabilities.
The Nucleus RTOS is a widely accepted RTOS for building
applications such as cellular phones, consumer electronics, portable
and handheld devices and more. The scalability of the Nucleus RTOS
makes it suitable for these applications because the flexibility
allows the RTOS to scale down to as small as 13KB, for both code and
data, on the S1C33209 processor. The Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel
provides the foundation for the RTOS family of products. In addition
to this, developers using the micro-ITRON standard, an embedded
operating system standard, can take advantage of Accelerated
Technology's adoption of the Nucleus uiPLUS micro-ITRON interface
standard for the Nucleus PLUS kernel. For networked applications, the
Nucleus NET protocol stack gives a high-performance, full-featured
TCP/IP implementation. Other middleware products available to Epson
developers include the Nucleus FILE file management software and the
Nucleus GRAFIX graphics package.
"The Epson S1C33 family has been extremely successful in the
market for embedded CPUs for mobile equipment," said Yasuhisa
Hirabayashi, general manager, Seiko Epson's IC Marketing & Sales
Department. "I believe that working with the Nucleus OS will generate
even greater success in this field."
"The popularity of the Nucleus RTOS in digital devices and
cellular phones continues to skyrocket. This release of the Nucleus
RTOS for the Epson CPU is evidence of our commitment to the needs of
embedded developers in this market," said Robert Day, director of
marketing, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division.

Available now, licenses for the Nucleus RTOS start at U.S.
$12,495. For more information, please contact Accelerated Technology
