LONDON The VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) and Tornado development environment from Wind River Systems Inc. (Alameda, Calif.) have both been ported to the ARC 32-bit user-configurable processor core from ARC Cores Ltd. (Elstree, England). Wind River is also allowing ARC Cores to bundle the run-time license for VxWorks with the ARC processor, thereby providing licensees with a single source for hardware and software. "We want to ensure that our customers receive a quality RTOS and development tools from the industry's leader, Wind River, and that they continue to enjoy the freedom to configure their specific features in record time," said Jim Turley, senior vice president of marketing at ARC Cores. ARC claims that special hooks have been added to the VxWorks and Tornado to allow developers to modify and extend the ARC processor while using Wind River's tools. This is already supported in ARC's C language compiler, which allows a dditional hardware and instructions to be added to the processor core.
