Product Name: Nucleus POSIX

Product Description

The use of the Nucleus POSIX API provides several advantages to Nucleus application developers. It allows developers that are currently using a different RTOS, which also supports a POSIX API, to easily migrate their applications to the Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel. Traditionally, once a company has used a particular kernel in their design, it is difficult to switch to another kernel because much of the application code is hard to transfer to a different kernel. This may prevent a company from migrating to an OS/kernel that better fits their needs because the switching costs are too high. The Nucleus POSIX API solves this switching problem for those that have the POSIX applications. Benefit Highlights: Uses standard interface - Because POSIX is a well-known standard, there is no need to re-learn a new proprietary API. An application engineer can quickly get started with the development process, since the ramp-up time is minimized. Utilizes proven Nucleus real-time technology - Nucleus embedded software has been proven in numerous designs and products. A product team will have confidence that the technology they are using with Nucleus has the required functionality needed for embedded products. Reuses existing application code - By leveraging the standard Nucleus POSIX API, legacy code can be re-used with minimum porting effort. Since the Nucleus POSIX API is standard, there is no need to re-write the entire application. Small code size footprint Written in ANSI C
