ARM based platform targets industrial applications
IAR Systems, NXP Semiconductors, and Micrium have announced a reference design platform targeted at rtos based, ARM powered embedded systems for industrial applications.
The LPC2468 Industrial Reference Design (IRD) platform is said to speed time to market for systems based on NXP’s LPC2468 ARM7 microcontroller. The software is based on Micrium’s µC/OS-II rtos and the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM® C/C++ compiler and debugger.
The platform incorporates interchangeable pcb based ‘Core’, ‘Base’ and ‘Application’ modules that provide system functions and wired communications protocols for a range of industrial and consumer embedded applications, including: building automation and lighting control; solid state lighting; e-metering; white goods; and industrial control.
“The IRD brings together all the necessary elements to allow engineers to bring product to market faster, which in turn increases the opportunity window for each new product,” said Jean Labrosse, Micrium’s president and ceo.
