SMX.Blaze offers networking and multitasking in a low-cost, integrated package for embedded systems. Multitasking allows the networking and application software to operate independently, thus making design easier. To enhance project success further, SMX.Blaze provides processor-specific BSP and startup code and tool-specific project and help files. These ensure that your project will get off to a quick start by avoiding integration problems.
Benefits of Using SMX.Blaze:
· Reduced development schedule and cost
· Lower product cost
· Fast start, integrated solution
· Minimal device drivers to write
· High success rate
· Future needs are covered
Reduced development schedule and cost: This is assured by proven code, pre-integration with your selected ARM processor, and good tool support. Products incorporating networking are easier to design and more reliable if they use a multitasking kernel. Blaze makes multitasking easier to apply by providing superior kernel aware debugging and graphical analysis tools that show task-level operation. The smx kernel provides extremely low interrupt latency, fast task switching, and deferred interrupt processing via LSRs. As a result, Blaze is compatible with the tight-timing designs that are common in low-end embedded systems.
Lower product cost: Because of the small size and high performance of SMX.Blaze, it may be possible to avoid using external memory and also to use a lower-performance processor. Due to the speed of smx it is often possible to avoid multi-processor designs.
Fast start: Save valuable startup time by using an integrated solution for your ARM processor and for outstanding commercial tools. With SMX.Blaze you have an out-of-the-box solution that requires no integration time.
Minimal drivers to write: SMX.Blaze includes most device drivers you need. Other compatible SMX products come with their own drivers.
High success rate: We put your success first via responsive support and clear, understandable manuals.
Future needs are covered: SMX.Blaze can be extended with other products from Micro Digital’s extensive product line. For example, a web server, file I/O, GUI, USB, and other products can be added, as needed.
Summary
SMX.Blaze provides an integrated solution that is small, powerful, and low-cost. It is ideal for networked products that are migrating upward from 8-bit and 16-bit processors, as well as for low to mid-range, 32-bit embedded systems. SMX.Blaze currently supports a wide variety of ARM processors. It works with quality commercial tools that enable developers to achieve quick time to market and high product quality. The Blaze price makes multitasking plus networking affordable for projects on a tight budget.
