Cypress Korea (Country Manager Young-do Lim, www.cypress.com ) announced that Micum, Inc.'s uC/OS-III RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) supports Cypress's PSoC 5 development platform.

PSoC 5's unique programmable analog and digital with high-performance 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor
Peripherals make the PSoC 5 suitable for high-demand applications such as industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer devices. PSoC 5 devices provide excellent integrated analog resources and powerful PLD-based Universal Digital Blocks to implement standard and custom digital peripherals.

Highly regarded for rapid time-to-market, Mycium middleware is suitable for ARM Cortex-M3-based 32-bit applications targeting the PSoC 5 Cortex-M3 platform. All technologies complement each other, providing embedded engineers with an overview of development tools, M3 debug capabilities, rapid prototyping, and ease of use. The addition of analog components to the programmable fabric reduces complexity and enables easy changes in the field.

For many years, combining analog circuits and digital components has been a difficult task. The PSoC 5 platform provides a very simple yet powerful building-block approach through analog addition. “The combination with the ARM Cortex-M3 processor has opened a new chapter in design for industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer embedded applications, where Micrium has extensive experience,” said Jane Levros.
