RoweBots Inc., the leading supplier of tiny embedded Linux-compatible real-time operating systems (RTOS) products, today announced that the Unison(TM) Operating System (OS) is a core component in a variety of medical equipment. The Unison OS controls operating room equipment, intelligent eyewear and other advanced medical devices for the home, physician’s offices and hospitals.
The launch and release of Unison OS, Version 5.2 along with the Xilinx Microblaze softcore made this technology possible. Unison provides the key, high-performance software framework required. The Unison ultra-tiny embedded Linux-compatible RTOS opens a broad set of medical, embedded or imaging applications to Linux- and POSIX-compatible development with extensive connectivity options, data storage and substantially enhanced performance on the same hardware.
John Soloninka from HTX, one of Canada’s leading medical research organizations had this to say: “HTX saw great value in RoweBots. This collaboration produced the next generation of embedded microprocessors. Xilinx combined with the powerful Unison embedded operating system reduces the cost and time to produce more powerful medical devices.”
Unison’s open standards or Linux compatibility, ultra tiny size, zero boot time, high performance and modularity are the key features which substantially reduce system development risk, cost and time. Over 50 Unison demonstration programs run out of the box on Xilinx Microblaze development kits in 10 minutes.
Using Unison Version 5.2, you get instant results. Unison’s newest features include:
* USB host and device I/O (http://rowebots.com/embedded_system_software/usb_stack )
