RTOS for 8-bit PICmicro

IDE for DSP Virtuoso v. 4.2 is an integrated development environment for the design of multi-processor embedded DSP networks, such as radar, sonar, and highend image processing. It includes the Virtuoso RTOS, a project manager, a multi-threaded asynchronous network host server, and a suite of graphical analysis and debugging tools, as well as plug-ins to Code Composer Studio and Visual DSP. The Virtuoso RTOS features a single processor programming style for multi-processor systems, communicating sequential processes (CSP), multithreading, multitasking capabilities, static memory allocation, target channels that allow data to be sent and received at different rates without buffers, and distributed, shared, or pooled memory architectures. In the CSP model, tasks communicate directly through channels that serve data-flow pipes. The channels exploit the multiple external buses or the direct link ports available on DSPs, so that the DSPs communicate directly with each other without using the system bus. Virtuoso v. 4.2 is available now. It costs $10,000 for single processor targets and $20,000 for virtual single processor support for multi-processor systems.
