Nucleus RTOS
Nucleus RTOS is a real-time operating system (RTOS) and full featured toolset created by Accelerated Technology, 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 a integrated development environment for software cross-development. EDGE consists of the following elements:
