Quadros Systems and Intelligraphics Partner to Offer Extended Driver Development Capabilities

RTXC customers gain access to driver development services for 802.11, WiMax, Bluetooth, USB, Compact PCI and more

ESC: #924

Embedded Systems Conference, Boston, MA - September 12, 2005 - Quadros Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of configurable and scaleable real-time operating systems (RTOS), and Intelligraphics, Inc., a leader in driver and low-level software development services, today announced a partnership to provide RTXC customers with driver development services for a wide range of popular communications interfaces.

Today's embedded systems are no longer localized control systems. They are complex and internetworked, often integrating multiple communications standards for both wired and wireless implementations. This partnership extends Quadros Systems' ability to support the rapidly growing number of communications controllers and I/O standards. Together, Intelligraphics and Quadros systems can deliver a higher level of expertise and integration, enabling developers of RTXC operating systems to respond to unique system connectivity requirements in markets such as industrial control and factory automation, consumer electronics, networking, and more.

"Intelligraphics extends our ability to provide our customers with the support they need for today's complex, interconnected systems," noted Tom Barrett, CEO of Quadros Systems. "Intelligraphics has specialized in driver development for many years. This partnership opens RTXC developers to a wealth of additional resources."

"The RTXC operating system is highly regarded for its efficiency and adaptability," stated Scott Lawson, president of Intelligraphics. "By combining our strengths in device driver development, RTXC developers will be able to extend that same level of adaptability into their overall system solution. Much of the time-consuming integration will be removed from the development process, saving development cost and speeding time to market."

With increased connectivity, each market sector has developed and adapted various connectivity standards that best suit their industry needs. This has created a burgeoning in connectivity protocols, each standard entailing many unique specifications. With the trend for processor vendors to integrate connectivity accelerators, it is even more critical that the RTOS be able to take support these interfaces.

Intelligraphics has extensive experience in developing drivers for Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, WiMax (802.16), Zigbee, USB, CompactPCI, OPC, ModBus, ModBus over Ethernet and TCP/IP, Fieldbus, Profibus, Interbus, DeviceNet, and AS-Interface.

Intelligraphics has developed particular expertise in driver and system level software development, performance analysis and enhancement, software testing and other services.

About the RTXC Quadros Family of Real-time Operating Systems

The RTXC Quadros RTOS family features four highly scalable real-time operating systems, offering distinct performance advantages for each of the major processing models. RTXC/ss (single stack) utilizes a lightweight specialized executive to support high data rate and signal processing applications. RTXC/ms (multi-stack) is optimized for control processing using an event-driven, prioritized, preemptive scheduler. RTXC/dm (dual mode) marries RTXC/ms and RTXC/ss and is ideal for convergent processing applications which combine DSP/dataflow and RISC/control processing in a single-core architecture. Both RTXC/ms and RTXC/dm are brought together under RTXC/mp (multiprocessing) in various combinations to support multicore and multiprocessor implementations.

About Quadros, Systems, Inc.

Quadros Systems, Inc. develops and markets RTXC technology, bringing together RTOS, hardware and software professionals into one development team to provide innovative technology that maximizes real-time responsiveness and eases the development process for customers. In addition to the RTXC RTOS family, Quadros Systems offers a wide range of communications stacks and middleware including RTXC Quadnet (a suite of integrated communications protocols) and RTXCflashfile (a high performance file system for resident flash devices). RTXC products have been deployed worldwide in thousands of embedded systems, serving markets such as communications, medical, and industrial automation.
