Green Hills Provides RTOS For Scannex PBX Data Collection

Green Hills Software, Inc., a member of the ARM Connected Community, has been selected to provide the real-time operating system (RTOS) and development tools for the Scannex ip.buffer range of PBX data collection products.

Scannex chose Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY RTOS, MULTI integrated development environment, optimizing compilers and Green Hills Probe for its ARM9-based system.

Scannex said factors involved in the decision process included debugging capabilities, core size, cost and company pedigree. The Green Hills toolchain provided immediate productivity gains and significantly accelerated the development process, the company said.
"The integration of MULTI, Probe and INTEGRITY enabled us to debug and develop much more efficiently, and with the confidence that the end product would be stable," explained Scannex technical director, Matthew Page. "The remote Ethernet debugging capability of INTEGRITY became an indispensable part of our development cycle. This incredible level of debugging has enabled us to produce a very mature, stable product in a much shorter timeframe."

Scannex designs and manufactures data collection products that are primarily used in the telephone call accounting, alarm and secure remote administration markets.
