Smx® MODULAR RTOS

smx is a modular RTOS that has been designed with an architecture to meet the needs of small to medium size embedded systems. It features small, efficiently written modules and thus works well on less expensive processors. The modules are highly independent. This permits leaving out those that are not needed, in order to save cost and space. smx offers the following services:

•Hard real-time multitasking

•File management

•Networking

•User interface

•Special services

•Debugger and tool support

Extensive drivers are available with smx products, and smx supports many popular tool chains. This allows you to minimize the time spent writing device drivers and to continue using the tools with which you are familiar.

Micro Digital’s objective is to provide each customer with a complete solution that saves programming expense and speeds time-to-market. To further this goal, smx products come with complete, well-written manuals. Also, all orders are pre-installed, integrated, and tested with the chosen tool chain, before they are shipped.

This is further backed up by the best support in the RTOS industry. The programmers who wrote the code provide your support. If you find a bug, Micro Digital’s support team will fix it NOW. If you do not understand

something, we will explain it clearly. We are here to work with you. We also provide customization and consulting services.

Out goal is to provide products with richness of features and with fast performance in order to provide good solutions for the problems embedded programmers are likely to encounter. These problems often cannot be anticipated. Hence, Micro Digital delivers a kernel that has more that enough capability to prevent costly schedule overruns and missed sales opportunities
