Green Hills announces a software development and run-time management solution for embedded products based on the multicore Freescale QorIQ P2020 and P2010 communications processors. Components of the Green Hills Software development toolkit include the INTEGRITY RTOS and INTEGRITY Secure Virtualization, optimizing C/C++ compilers for Power Architecture technology, MULTI integrated development environment, and high-speed hardware probes. INTEGRITY RTOS provides for total reliability and absolute security. INTEGRITY is being used today on QorIQ-based systems in networking, industrial control, military and telecom.
INTEGRITY Secure Virtualization is a reliable and flexible embedded virtualization solution for hosting guest operating systems alongside real-time applications and middleware. MULTI provides a complete software development environment for building, debugging, testing and optimizing multicore embedded applications. Green Hills Optimizing Compilers generates small and fast code from C, C++, Ada 95 for the e500 Power Architecture cores. Green Hills Probe helps developers find and fix bugs fast with its comprehensive run-control and processor visibility interfaces.
Freescale’s QorIQ platform products serve a wide range of applications, especially those that have tight thermal constraints. The QorIQ P2020 communications processor delivers high performance per watt for a wide variety of applications in the networking, telecom, military and industrial markets. It delivers dual-core frequency of 1.2 GHz on a 45nm technology low-power platform. The P2020 employs the e500 Power Architecture core and peripherals and is fully software compatible with existing PowerQUICC processors. The processor integrates a rich set of interfaces including SerDes, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-Express, RapidIO technology and USB. Three 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports support advanced packet parsing, flow control and quality of service features, as well as IEEE 1588 time-stamping. Four SerDes lanes can be portioned across two Serial RapidIO ports, three PCI Express ports and two SGMII ports.
