Evidence Multi-Processor Solutions for Nios II Processors

Home > Products > Intellectual Property > Embedded Processors > Nios II > Software Tools > Software > Evidence Multi-Processor Solutions for Nios II Processors

Evidence provides a wide range of embedded software solutions for the development of time- and safety-critical systems, such as those found in automotive applications. ERIKA Enterprise and RT-Druid are two such solutions.

ERIKA Enterprise is an advanced real-time operating system (RTOS) for single and multiprocessor applications that offers availability of a multiprocessor-ready interface to developers working on Altera's soft core Nios® II family of embedded processors.

RT-Druid is a configuration tool that helps developers manage the design flow of an embedded project, allowing easy configuration of the system parameters. The RT-Druid environment seamlessly integrates with Altera's Nios II integrated development environment (IDE), a tool chain based on the Eclipse framework.  

Applications

Evidence's ERIKA Enterprise and RT-Druid enable many innovative solutions for multi-processor applications, including:

Portable API: The RTOS API does not change when moving to multiprocessor designs; each task can be thought to run on a single processor multi-threaded environment.

Multi-Processor Support: Multiprocessor issues, such as disabling data cache, multiprocessor global data allocation and mutual exclusion between different CPUs concurrently accessing the same data structures, are handled automatically, simplifying the application design and verification.

Code Placement: Multiprocessor hiding allows you to migrate application code from a single processor to multiprocessors without changing the application source code.

Increased Performance: To re-target an application from a single to multiprocessor architecture requires only different configuration files.

Altera & Eclipse Support: Full integration with the Altera® SOPC Builder components and the Altera hardware abstraction layer (HAL).

Ordering Information

ERIKA Enterprise and RT-Druid are sold with a per-seat license and are royalty-free. The price is independent from the number of Nios II processors.

Contact Evidence to learn more about ERIKA Enterprise and RT-Druid.
