SCIOPTA Systems AG is announcing the immediate availability of the SCIOPTA Real-Time Operating Systems for the Freescale Kinets Cortex-M4 based Microcontrollers.

SCIOPTA Kenetis is also available in a certified version according to IEC61508 up to SIL3.

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 GNU GCC and IAR Systems. A precompiled version of GCC is included on the SCIOPTA CD.

Freescale’s® Kinetis

Freescale’s Kinetis portfolio of more than 200 compatible low-power, high-performance MCUs built on the ARM® Cortex™-M architecture are designed to reduce development costs through scalable performance, integration and memory in a full range of consumer and industrial applications. From entry-level to feature-rich, our Kinetis product families offer extensive peripheral choice with high-precision mixed-signal, FlexMemory (EEPROM), low-power, connectivity, HMI and security features enabled for Freescale’s Tower System development platform

The K10 MCU family is the entry point into the Kinetis portfolio. Devices start from 32 KB of flash extending up to 1 MB with a rich suite of analog, communication, timing and control peripherals.

The K20 MCU family is pin, peripheral and software compatible with the K10 MCU family and adds full and high-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go with device charge detect capability.

The K30 MCU family is pin, peripheral and software compatible with the K10 MCU family and adds a flexible low-power segment LCD controller with support for up to 320 segments.

The K40 MCU family is pin, peripheral and software compatible with the K10 MCU family and adds full-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go with device charge detect capability and a flexible low-power segment LCD controller with support for up to 320 segments.

The K50 MCU family provides designers with an Analog Measurement Engine consisting of integrated operational and transimpedance amplifiers and high-resolution ADC and DAC modules.

The K60 MCU family includes IEEE 1588 Ethernet, full- and high-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go with device charge detect capability, hardware encryption and tamper detection capabilities.
