| Atmel's SAM CPUs supported by SCIOPTA |
Today SCIOPTA Systems AG is announcing the immediate availability of the SCIOPTA Real-Time Operating Systems for the Atmel AT91SAM Smart ARM-based Microcontrollers.
The SCIOPTA AT91SAM RTOS is written in highly optimized assembler and specifically tuned for the AT91SAM Processors. This results in a very high performance and a low memory footprint.
SCIOPTA is fully dynamic. All system resources such as modules, processes and message memory pools can be created and killed during run-time.
Beside the fast Real-Time Kernel there is IPS (Internet Protocols, TCP/IP), IPS Applications (Web Server, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, Telnet, TFTP etc.), SFFS (Flash File Systems), USB support and the DRUID System Level Debugger available.
SCIOPTA is royalty free and supports actually the C/C++ compilers and environments from GNU GCC, ARM RealView and IAR. A precompiled version of GCC is included on the SCIOPTA CD.

| About SCIOPTA |
SCIOPTA Systems develops, sells, supports and maintains systems software for safety-critical embedded applications.
This includes real-time operating systems, network software, file systems, software for interface bus systems, board support packages and other system software.
SCIOPTA is a message based real-time operating system with many built-in safety functions and is therefore very well suited for software forming part of safety-related systems. SCIOPTA is in the process of certification by TÜV to IEC61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3).
But SCIOPTA is more than just an RTOS. It is a new and modern approach to design embedded systems. The direct message passing method allows easy and time-saving design of robust and secure systems. Applications based on the SCIOPTA Method can cover small static SoC designs to large dynamic distributed systems. |
