“The combination of embedded Linux and Mentor’s Nucleus RTOS is really exciting for us, particularly for multi-OS on multicore systems.

We see multiple OS deployment taking off in Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) systems. The OSs can be sectioned off so the general-purpose OS handles control plane activities, such as user interface and application management. Meanwhile, the RTOS handles data plane activities that tend to require hard, real-time performance and strict security management, such as motor control, data computation, fast boot, and safety/critical applications.

Our Nucleus OS has a long-standing history in AMP applications, where it’s currently deployed in more than 1.6 billion mobile handsets. We’ve learned a great deal about multiple OS requirements over the years.”
