UMICOS Releases Catapult Embedded Software Development Platform
Immediate availability for Atmel(R) (ATML) AT91SAM family of ARM-based 32-bit microcontrollers
SAN JOSE, California, October 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
UMICOS Inc. ( http://www.umicos.com) has announced today the
immediate availability of its UMICOS Catapult software development platform
for ARM-based microcontrollers and microprocessors. Presenting a new
approach to embedded software development, UMICOS Catapult packs a high
performance fully featured embedded operating system (RTOS), an extensive
suite of low-level drivers, top of the line development tools and a kernel
aware debugger - into a single product.
Setting New Standards in Embedded Software Time to Market and Ease of
Use
UMICOS Catapult is the first solution offering true Out-of-the-box
experience for software development on ARM-based microcontrollers. A
single-vendor solution encompassing an embedded operating system, low-level
drivers and PC development tools, UMICOS Catapult provides the required
software foundation and tools to create complex applications in record time.
Unlike legacy solutions, no integration and low-level development is
required as UMICOS Catapult is fully integrated and tested with the
supported microcontrollers.
The embedded components of UMICOS Catapult include a real time kernel,
USB stack, graphics, networking, storage subsystem and more, while the PC
components feature a heavily customized Eclipse-based IDE, a GCC-based
toolchain, project configuration tools and system monitoring facilities.
Emphasis on Fault Tolerance, Low Power and System Level Performance
UMICOS Catapult embedded OS contains innovative mechanisms for power
management, by utilizing the extensive power modes available in the included
driver suite. UMICOS Catapult makes full use of the capabilities of modern,
ARM-based microcontrollers, with full support for DMA, memory management
(MMU/MPU), caching and high performance I/O operations to achieve staggering
real-world performance. Dynamic power management is made possible by the
excellent integration of Catapult with the target hardware, through the
included set of drivers.
A New Approach to Embedded Software Development
"While the microcontroller hardware market sees significant innovations
with each passing quarter, software solutions in the microcontroller market
have remained a decade behind," said Roee Tuval, CEO and President of
UMICOS. "Software solutions developed with the microcontrollers of 1990 in
mind can no longer reasonably address customer needs in 2011 and beyond. The
complexity of the new ARM-based microcontrollers - with features such as
multiple DMA engines, LCD controllers, USB, Ethernet, Audio and more - has
increased the difficulty of software development many times over.
"UMICOS brings real news to the market with the Catapult software
platform; no longer is the customer expected to integrate discrete software
packages, write complicated drivers and set up obscure toolchains. UMICOS
integrates everything into one coherent product, covering all customer needs
- from real time kernel, to drivers to the toolchain and IDE.
"Not only does UMICOS revolutionize embedded software and tools, but it
also leverages this unprecedented integration to offer the best customer
support in the industry. The customer will directly deal with a single
vendor for their entire embedded software platform - IDE to kernel to
drivers - which is a real advantage for avoiding development delays.

Availability and Pricing
UMICOS Catapult is available now for a free, full functionality
evaluation on any of the supported processors. For the first time in this
market, UMICOS offers an attractive subscription-based licensing model. See
more at http://www.umicos.com.
Out of the box support for Atmel(R) (ATML) AT91SAM Processors
UMICOS Catapult immediately supports the following Atmel(R) processors,
with complete production-level drivers and over 70 template projects and
application notes:
- AT91SAM3U
- AT91SAM3S
- AT91SAM3N
- AT91SAM9G25
- AT91SAM9G35
- AT91SAM9G45
