CMX SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR TEXAS INSTRUMENTS’ 4th GENERATION STELLARIS® MICROCONTROLLERS

Jacksonville, FL - June 2, 2009 - CMX Systems, well-known designer of real-time operating systems, TCP/IP stacks, Flash File Systems and USB software announces that its widely deployed CMX-RTX™ and CMX-TINY+™ RTOSes, CMX-MicroNet™ TCP/IP stack and a variety of Flash file systems are now available for Texas Instruments Incorporated’s (TI)’s recent additions to the Stellaris® family of ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontrollers (MCUs), including the new LM3S9000 Series microcontrollers, and new additions to the LM3S5000 Series, and LM3S2000 Series microcontrollers. Evaluation versions of the CMX-RTX RTOS and CMX-MicroNet TCP/IP stack will be included with Texas Instruments’ DK-LM3S9B96 development kit for the ten new fourth generation members of the Stellaris® microcontroller family and new EK-LM3S9B90 and EK-LM3S9B92 Stellaris evaluation kits.

CMX-RTX is a truly preemptive, multi-tasking RTOS supporting a wide variety of 8-, 16-, 32-bit microcomputers, microprocessors, and DSP's. CMX-RTX offers the smallest footprint, the fastest context switching times, and the lowest interrupt latency times available on the market today. RTOS functionality provided in CMX-RTX includes: task management, message management, queue management, system management, event management, memory management, resource management, semaphore management and timer management.

The CMX-Tiny+ real time multi-tasking operating system is a very “lean and mean” kernel for those processors that have a small amount of RAM embedded on the processor’s silicon (minimum of 512 bytes and higher). This unique RTOS, based on a scaled down version of the popular CMX-RTX, retains most of the power of CMX-RTX as well as the more frequently used functions. ROM requirements are approximately 1K minimum to 3K maximum.

CMX-MicroNet is a TCP/IP stack specially crafted to work with virtually all processors and features an extremely small ROM requirement ranging from 5K to 28K and very minimal RAM requirements of about 500 bytes plus buffers for packets. The base CMX-MicroNet software package currently includes UDP, TCP, IP, Modem, SLIP, ICMP Echo, IGMP, and Virtual File system. Current Add-On Options available are: HTTP Web Server, DNS Client, FTP, SMTP, SNMP, DHCP Client, TFTP Client, SNTP, Fragmentation, POP3, PPP, CHAP, Telnet, Ethernet (ARP, BOOTP) and Wireless Ethernet. The CMX-MicroNet stack can work with or without an RTOS.

CMX also offers a variety of Flash File Systems, including; CMX-FFS-FAT™, a FAT 12/16/32 compatible file system supporting standard media; CMX-FFS-SAFE-FAT™, a FAT compatible file system with Failsafe; CMX-FFS-THIN™, a scalable, reduced footprint FAT file system designed for integration with 8-bit or 16-bit embedded processors with limited resources; CMX-FFS™, a 100% Failsafe flash file system and CMX-FFS-TINY™, a limited resource failsafe file system available in configurations for RAM, Small Sector Byte Writeable Flash, Atmel DataFlash and ST Serial Flash for Data.

All CMX products feature full source code, no royalties, and free technical support and updates with every purchase. Contact CMX Systems at 904-880-1840 or email sales@cmx.com.
