SCIOPTA Real-Time Operating System supports now STMicroelectronics' STM32
SCIOPTA Systems AG is announcing the immediate availability of the SCIOPTA Real-Time Operating Systems for the STMicroelectronics'® STM32 Microcontrollers.

The SCIOPTA STM32 RTOS is written in highly optimized assembler and specifically tuned for the STM32 microcontrollers. 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, embedded GUI graphics support and the DRUID System Level Debugger available.

SCIOPTA is royalty free and supports actually the C/C++ compilers and environments from IAR Systems, GNU GCC and ARM RealView.
STM32 (CORTEX M3) Microcontrollers
The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is based on the breakthrough ARM Cortex™-M3 core - a core specifically developed for embedded applications. The STM32 family benefits from the Cortex-M3 architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance with better code density, significantly faster response to interrupts, all combined with industry leading power consumption.

The STM32 family is built to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a complete 32-bit product range that combines high-performance, real-time, low-power and low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Compatibility of pin-assignments, peripherals and software across all STM32 devices is a core technical feature throughout this family of microcontrollers.
The STM32 advantages
Leading-edge architecture with the latest Cortex-M3 core from ARM.
Excellent real-time behaviour
Oustanding power efficiency
Superior and innovative peripherals
Maximum integration
Easy development, fast time to marke
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 certified 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.
