WESTON, Fla – Micrium, the premier supplier of high-quality software components for embedded systems, is pleased to announce support of Microsemi Corporation's ARM(®) Cortex™-M3 based SmartFusion2(®) SoC FPGAs.



Micrium's RTOS components, including the flagship uC/OS-III Kernel, meet many of the same goals as SmartFusion2 devices. Both are designed to operate in environments where efficiency and high reliability are key customer demands. This includes the medical electronics industry, industrial controls and of course avionics.



Jean Labrosse, Micrium founder, CEO and president, said, "Micrium is pleased to be supporting the new SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA with our uC/OS-III Kernel and our surrounding RTOS components.

Add to that the Micrium tool, uC/Probe and it's possible to graphically visualize the internals of a running embedded system with just a few mouse clicks. Our relationship with Microsemi encompasses several generations of FPGAs and we have had our mutual customers express the highest praise for our joint solutions. We believe that SmartFusion2 devices will continue that tradition."
