Atmel's CAP Customizable Microcontroller Hosts JBOSN High-Performance RTOS

Rousset, France and Seoul, Korea, November 13 (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Significant Performance Gains on Minimal Memory Footprint

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and IBOSN Systems Co., Ltd.
announced today the port of the JBOSN high-performance RTOS
(real-time operating system) onto Atmel's AT91CAP9S customizable
microcontroller. The JBOSN RTOS(TM) is a real-time, preemptive,
multitasking kernel designed for time-critical embedded applications.
It achieves significant performance gains on a reduced memory
footprint relative to other operating systems of comparable
functionality.

The JBOSN RTOS is a multi-layered, modular, real-time operating
system designed specifically for embedded microprocessors. It
provides a complete multitasking environment based on open system
standards. It is built around the JBOSN real-time multi-tasking
nano-kernel and a modular collection of servers (window, network,
file system, I/O, time, system and synchronization) and companion
software components. Each server implements a logical collection of
system services. To the application developer, the system service
requests appear as re-entrant C functions callable from an
application. Any combination of server and library components can be
incorporated into a system to match its real-time design
requirements.

Michel Le Lan, Atmel's Marketing Director for ASICs, commented,
"The JBOSN RTOS opens CAP(TM) to high-performance, real-time systems
with tight memory constraints. With its clean application interface,
and modular servers for all the requirements of real-time systems, it
reduces the cost and shortens the development time of customer target
systems."

Byoung-Oh Jung, CEO of IBOSN Systems, commented, "The JBOSN RTOS
supports device manager, filesystem, GUI tools using window system
and network. JBOSN RTOS requires only a small memory for running, and
provides a very quick response time. Because JBOSN RTOS is very
light, the hardware requirement is also small, low power consumption
can be achieved and low price of product can be achieved while
getting the same functions. Especially, a GUI is very good for
embedded systems."
