• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee support

The Nucleus RTOS readily supports a comprehensive set of architectures and processor families, including ARM, MIPS, Power PC, and SuperH, as well as many DSPs and FPGA soft processor cores.

"Mentor's Nucleus RTOS targeting connectivity and low power demonstrates Mentor's understanding of issues critical to today's MCU-based designs," said Miguel Morales, director of marketing, Stellaris Cortex-M MCUs, Texas Instruments. "The scalable technology, ease of configuration and small footprint makes the Nucleus RTOS an ideal solution for designers using Stellaris microcontrollers."

The Nucleus RTOS is used in more than 2.3 billion mobile handsets. It is well known as a highly efficient and reliable operating system.
