MicroEJ to Introduce Operating System for IoT at Embedded WorldAt EclipseCon Europe, MicroEJ® introduced MicroEJ Studio, its solution for application developers; at CES (News - Alert), it introduced the MicroEJ Application Store, its solution for delivering applications to IoT devices. At Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, MicroEJ will unveil the latest version of its MicroEJ Operating System (OS). MicroEJ OS continues to address traditional resource-constrained embedded systems, while version 4 adds capabilities dedicated to IoT devices. IoT devices are embedded systems with strong performance, footprint and reliability constraints. In addition, IoT devices interact with cloud platforms by being connected to the Internet either directly or through a gateway or mobile companion. They also offer new experiences to their users beyond their core functionality (for example, beyond giving the temperature, a smart thermostat may also act as a gateway and control other connected devices in the home through a local wireless network). Smartphones and tablets have set new standards and expectations in terms of user experience and services delivered through applications (apps) downloaded from stores (or marketplaces). MicroEJ OS 4 enables delivery of similar app-driven experiences and services to devices that can't afford to run mobile platforms. While a mobile OS typically requires gigabytes of memory and storage, and gigahertz multi-core microprocessors, which leads to high-cost hardware, MicroEJ OS can run on low-power, low-cost megahertz microcontrollers in the range of kilobytes of memory and storage. MicroEJ OS allows manufacturers to save up to 60% on the bill of materials and increase up to 80% in the battery life of their devices when compared to mobile operating systems. MicroEJ OS 4 offers the following key capabilities in order to deliver on the IoT promise:
The company's comprehensive IoT solution portfolio - MicroEJ Application Store, MicroEJ Studio, MicroEJ Workbench, and MicroEJ OS - will be demonstrated at Embedded World on hardware platforms from various partner vendors based on ARM Cortex-M, Cortex-A, or other architectures: STMicroelectronics (News - Alert) STM32, NXP Kinetis and i.MX, and Renesas Synergy and RZ. Visit MicroEJ at Embedded World in Booth #4-259 (in Hall 4) at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center in Nuremberg, Germany from February 23-24, 2016.
