SMX® RTOS Now Available for STM32F4 Cortex-M4 Microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics

Costa Mesa, California, February 16, 2012 — Micro Digital, Inc. is pleased to offer SMX® RTOS support for the STM32F4 family of Cortex™-M4 microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics. This includes immediate availability of the smx preemptive real-time multitasking kernel, smxWiFi 802.11a/b/g/i/n wireless stack, smxNS TCP/IP stack, smxUSBH USB host stack, smxUSBD USB device stack, and smxFS FAT file system with MMC/SD card driver.

SMX RTOS fully supports the STM3240G-EVAL board as well as the IAR STM32F407ZG KickStart board with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. smxAware extends the debugger to display smx kernel objects, queues, and diagnostic information, as well as graphical displays of task, ISR, and LSR timelines, processor usage, and task stack usage. It also displays file system, networking, and USB information. Free SMX RTOS evaluation kits are available to download at www.smxrtos.com/eval. Demos for smxWiFi, smxUSB, and smxFS are available at www.smxrtos.com/demo.  

“Micro Digital, has been a partner of STMicroelectronics since its STR7 and STR9 ARM processors were released, through the STM32F1 and STM32F2 families, and now continues this progression with the STM32F4,” said David Moore, director of development at Micro Digital. “STM32 processors have been popular among our customers, and there is excitement over this new STM32F4 family, which has a Cortex-M4 core, a rich set of peripherals, and large on-chip memories,” he added.

Availability and Licensing

SMX for STM32F4 microcontrollers is available immediately for purchase and includes full source code, 90 days of technical support, and no per-seat charges. All of Micro Digital’s software is royalty-free and sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Evaluation kits are available, at no charge, for qualified evaluators from www.smxrtos.com/eval.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
