The OSE real-time operating system is now available for the new MPC7400 PowerPC microprocessor. A wide range of high-level development tools for the device include what is claimed to be one of the most powerful debugging and development tools in the industry--the OSE Illuminator. It provides run-time analysis and control of the system including system browsing, memory and CPU profiling, run-time monitoring, tracing, post-mortem analysis, and program loading. OSE Illuminator, combined with the message-passing structure of the OSE RTOS is claimed to create a system that avoids problems typically associated with conventional RTOSs such as memory starvation and system crashes.
