[Product News] eSOL's Functional Safety Certified RTOS Supports Texas Instruments' Sitara Family for Industry 4.0, Including the Latest AM6x Processor
eSOL's functional safety certified real-time OS "eT-Kernel™" now supports TI's multiprotocol gigabit (Gb) time-sensitive networking (TSN)-enabled industrial-grade Sitara processor family, including Sitara AM6x processor. Having obtained the functional safety standard certification for IEC 61508 SIL 4 for industrial equipment, eT-Kernel helps developers achieve high-reliability, high quality, and real-time properties required in Industry 4.0 systems using the Sitara processor family.
The Sitara family is a processor family for industrial applications, and features Arm Cortex-A8/A9/A15/A53 cores. It offers support for multiple Industrial Ethernet protocols and a product lineup that features peripherals tailored to user needs. In addition, it has an abundant track record in the industrial field. eT-Kernel supports all processors in the Sitara family, and makes it possible to use a common platform with the same OS and development environment in systems development, regardless of whether the processor is single- or multi-core. eT-Kernel also offers a wide variety of middleware such as network and USB stacks.
