Nucleus OS - Networking/Communication by Mentor Graphics Corporation

Communication Protocol

Product Description

IP networking capabilities have become a key differentiator for even the least expensive, most resource-constrained and most specialized devices. Timing constraints for synchronization and real-time communication requirements make the use of a full featured OS sensible. When reviewing the plethora of IP based protocols, it can be a challenge to find all the protocols you need in an OS that is
a) optimized for real time and deeply embedded applications, and
b) reliable and validated to the proper levels

Nucleus Networking has at its heart the reliable, well proven Nucleus OS which has a long and distinguished pedigree, being the first commercial RTOS to be ported to the ARM architecture and has been deployed on more ARM powered devices than any other OS or RTOS. Supporting 53 protocols Nucleus Networking has been fully validated using rigorous internal test procedures as well as external testing suites, including ANVL and TAHI.

The networking suite includes protocols that cover a vast array of RFCs and IEEE specifications. From TCP/IP to HTTP to 802.11i, the networking suite has the protocol to fit your particular needs. Lists of some of them are shown below.

Simulation Environment – On-host simulation support is available with EDGE SimTest to complement on-target support. EDGE SimTest can interact with common host computer peripherals (e.g. networking) to enable developers to create their application prior to hardware being available. Functional models of other peripherals/protocols can easily be implemented within this environment.
