SMX RTOS support is now available for the LPC21xx and LPC22xx processors. The core of the SMX RTOS is the smx real-time multitasking kernel. smxAware adds capabilities to the IAR debugger to enable the displaying of smx kernel objects, queues, and other diagnostic information. It also includes the smx Graphical Analysis Tool, which shows task, ISR, and LSR timelines, processor usage, and task stack usage.

smxBSP provides start-up code and board support functions needed by smx. It also and provides a UART driver for these two families of processors.

Two free SMX evaluation kits may be downloaded from www.smxrtos.com/eval. The first is for the Phytec phyCORE-ARM7/LPC2294 board. The second is for the Signum EVB-LPC2138 board.

Evaluation kits are free to qualified evaluators. Licenses for smx cost $8,000. smxBSP is included. This price, which is royalty-free with no per-seat charges, provides six months of support. smxAware is $500 per development seat.
