RealView® Real-Time Library

RL-ARM

The RealView Real-Time Library is a collection of tightly-coupled libraries that are designed to solve the real-time and communication challenges of embedded systems based on ARM powered MCU devices.

The Real-Time Library includes:

• RTX Real-Time Kernel
  (flexible royalty-free RTOS with source code)
• Flash File System
• TCP/IP Networking Suite
• CAN Interface
• USB Device Interface

The RealView Real-Time Library is designed to solve several common challenges for embedded developers including:

• Multitasking (which allows you to manage several jobs or tasks on a single CPU).
• Real-Time Control (which allows you to configure tasks so that operations execute within a defined period of time).
• Inter-Task Communication (which allows tasks in your system to communicate with each other).
• Internet Connection via Ethernet or Serial (Modem).
• Embedded Web Server including CGI scripting.
• E-mail Notification via SMTP.

In addition, the RealView Real-Time Library includes several drivers that interface the RTX Real-Time Kernel to various communication interfaces:

• CAN Interface
  CAN Interface Hardware Layer Drivers are available for STMicroelectronics STR71x, STR73x, STR75x, and STR91x devices.
• USB Device Interface
  A USB Device Interface for standard Windows device classes is available for Philips LPC2000 devices.

While it is possible to implement an embedded program without using a real-time kernel, a proven kernel like RL-ARM saves time and makes software development easier.
