Overview
Accelerate product development with Mentor® Embedded Nucleus®
ReadyStart™ – an integrated solution for select TI Sitara™ AM335x ARM
Cortex-A8 boards. Nucleus ReadyStart includes a proven OS, tested drivers,
a host of pre-integrated middleware IP, a 2D/3D graphical user interface (UI),
along with build, compile, debug, and UI development tools.
Recently introduced by TI, the Sitara AM335x is an ARM Cortex-A8
microprocessor. Available at extremely competitive pricing and consuming
as low as 7mW of power, the AM335 is ideal in applications where low
power consumption and prolonged battery life are critical.
Embedded software development today
A new paradigm has emerged in the embedded industry. Semiconductor
companies have moved away from silicon only to system companies –
building application-ready, hardware/software-specific platforms. Software
developers are tasked to do more in a fraction of the time. Developers must
also design their systems to accommodate ever-increasing processing power
while staying within a given power budget and incorporate multicore
architectures. If today’s developers are to meet these challenges, they will
need to work within an all-inclusive, highly integrated, and independent
development platform. What’s needed is a new design methodology
based on a true build system with all the essential components
pre-integrated and in place.
Nucleus ReadyStart answers that need.
