“While some eSi-RISC customers often choose an open-source RTOS, others believe that a commercially supported RTOS is more preferable for successful embedded product development and fast time-to-market,” said Ian Lankshear, EnSilica’s CEO. “The combination of ThreadX and eSi-RISC delivers unrivalled compactness, high performance and low-power for all manner of embedded applications.”
EnSilica’s eSi-RISC family includes 16bit and 32bit processors, along with optional single precision floating point processors, SIMD DSP extensions and a scalable asymmetric multicore processor.
Bill Lamie, president of Express Logic, noted: “We believe EnSilica’s flexible eSi-RISC processor cores and our highly efficient ThreadX RTOS creates a commercial-grade solution capable of addressing the most demanding projects now and into the future.”
The companies say that, together, eSi-RISC and ThreadX share small footprint, high performance and low power characteristics that, when combined with ThreadX’s precertification for many safety standards, suit them to IoT and industrial applications.
