Nucleus OS is a real-time operating system (RTOS) and toolset created by the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics for various central processing unit (CPU) platforms. Nucleus OS is an embedded software solution and is in an estimated 2.11 billion devices worldwide[2].

Development is typically done on a host computer running Windows or Linux. Applications are compiled to run on various target CPU architectures and tested using the actual target boards, simulators or via the host using EDGE SimTest.

The Nucleus RTOS is designed for embedded systems applications including consumer electronics, set-top boxes, cellular phones, and other portable and handheld devices. For limited memory systems Nucleus RTOS can be scaled down to a memory footprint as small as 13 KB for both code and data.

Components

Kernel

  • Real time kernel
  • C++, POSIX and Micro ITRON interfaces
  • Dynamic download
  • Interprocessor communications
  • Closed Source (however, the source code is available to customers, making it easier to debug than a closed operating system)

Connectivity

Networking

Over 60 network drivers and protocols including TCP/IP stack, IPv6 and IEEE 802.11 wireless

File System

Graphics

  • Low-level rendering
  • Windowing system
  • Multi-media GUI control framework

Security

Encryption, hash and signature algorithms, key exchange protocols

Products using Nucleus OS

Mentor Graphics boasts Nucleus installment base of over 1.6 billion mobile devices[3], as of mid-February, 2010 and 2.11 billion devices as of June 2010.
