eSOL's eT-Kernel Real-Time OS Platform Now Available for Renesas' RZ/A MPU Series
Ensures Fast Real-Time Capabilities and High System Reliability
Tokyo,
Japan, June 20, 2013 – eSOL, a leading developer of real-time embedded software
solutions, today announced that the eT-Kernel Real-Time OS Platform now
supports Renesas' ARM® Cortex™-A9-based RZ/A series microprocessor units (MPU).
The RZ/A series MPUs combine ARM cores with Renesas' unique
technologies to offer high performance and low power consumption. The eT-Kernel
Platform has enabled software developers to add real-time capabilities and high
reliability to the RZ/A series MPU-based systems more rapidly and at lower
cost across automotive, factory automation (FA), industrial, and consumer
device applications.
eSOL is a leading embedded software developer that enables customers to accelerate development of applications based on high-end embedded processors including multi-core. Our advanced, scalable, multi-profiled real-time operating systems are tightly integrated with development tools and middleware components to create flexible development platforms used by OEMs and ODMs worldwide in competitive vertical markets such as automotive, consumer electronics, industrial and medical equipment and aerospace. Founded in 1975, eSOL is based in Tokyo, Japan.

RZ/A
series MPUs are equipped with advanced graphic features including support for high-resolution WXGA (1280x768) wide-screen displays and a 2D graphic accelerator to offer easily-built
rich human-machine interfaces (HMI). They are ideal for graphic display applications from in-vehicle infotainment
(IVI) devices, display panels for FA and industrial use, and surveillance
cameras to audio devices with visual displays. The integrated large-capacity
internal RAM enables high-speed memory access and reduces system cost while the
integrated ARM Cortex-A9 core provides high performance with low power
consumption.
The
eT-Kernel Platform integrates the eT-Kernel real-time OS with eBinder
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), middleware components including
graphics, file systems, network protocols, USB stacks, and professional
services. The eT-Kernel consists of three scalable profiles to choose from
depending on system size and purpose, including the small-footprint
eT-Kernel/Compact and eT-Kernel/POSIX with high Linux compatibility. Developers
can easily reuse Linux software assets on eT-Kernel Platform and develop their systems efficiently by leveraging the eBinder IDE tool set.
Besides
the RZ/A MPU series, eT-Kernel Platform supports Renesas' other CPUs including
the R-Car series, R-Mobile series, and SuperH family. eSOL is a member of the
Alliance Partner, the SoC Partner Program, the R-Car Consortium, and the
R-Mobile Consortium hosted by Renesas. eSOL is committed to providing strong
support to RZ/A-based software developers based on its years of close
partnership with Renesas.
“Recent
information devices with a display require higher performance and lower power
consumption,” said Hiroaki Kamikura, General Manager of the Embedded Products
Division, eSOL. “HMI-focused RZ/A series MPUs can meet such requirements by
integrating the ARM Cortex-A9 core and Renesas’ unique technologies. Their
large-capacity internal RAM also yields advantages of high-speed memory access
and reduction of component counts. We will strongly backup the RZ/A-based
system developers by providing the eT-Kernel Platform to ensure fast real-time response
and high reliability, which has a proven track record in a wide range of
applications including in-vehicle infotainment and industrial systems.”
