Nucleus RTOS is a real-time operating system (RTOS) and full featured toolset created by the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics for various CPU platforms. Nucleus RTOS is part of a complete embedded solution, which includes: Eclipse-based development tools, UML modeling tools, hardware simulation (embedded prototyping), and middleware.

The Nucleus RTOS is specially built for any embedded application including consumer electronics, set-top boxes, cellular phones, and other portable and handheld devices. The scalability allows the Nucleus RTOS to scale down to as small as 13 KB, for both code and data. The Nucleus RTOS has been used by Garmin International to develop the CNX80 navigational global positioning system (GPS) for general aviation. It is also used in a large number of Motorola and NEC mobile phones.

EDGE

EDGE is an integrated development environment for software cross-development. EDGE consists of the following elements:

  • Nucleus RTOS target operating system
  • Application-building tools (cross-compiler and associated programs)
  • An integrated development environment (IDE) based of Eclipse framework that facilitates managing and building projects, establishing host-target communication, and running, debugging, and monitoring Nucleus applications
  • EDGE SimTEST is a prototyping environment that enables you to build embedded applications on a development host such as Microsoft Windows™, prior to embedding on target hardware.
  • BridgePoint UML Suite offers software designers a graphical environment to model and design their system.
  • Integrated MAJIC probes connections support.

Products using Nucleus RTOS

  • Nucleus RTOS used by Honeywell for Critical Terrain Awareness Technology in the Aviation Industry.
  • IVL Technologies' On-Key Karaoke Handheld Player Sings along with the Nucleus PLUS Kernel.
  • Logitech uses Nucleus RTOS. in its Pocket Video™ Portable Digital Video Cameras.
  • Nucleus RTOS Selected By SK Telecom To Introduce the World's First Commercialization of CDMA Technology To Korea.
  • Nucleus used in NEC America's Award-Winning 535M High Definition Mobile Handset
