Express Logic ThreadX Microcontroller Edition RTOS for PIC24 and dsPIC

Express Logic’s ThreadX Microcontroller Edition RTOS, ThreadX/MCU  support for the Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24 microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers (DSCs). ThreadX/MCU is fully upward-compatible with Express Logic's full-featured ThreadX RTOS, employed in over 450 million electronic products based on 32-bit processors. Like ThreadX, ThreadX/MCU is royalty-free, making it ideal for high-volume applications in real-time motor control, speech/audio, and wireless networking targeted by Microchip's PIC24 microcontrollers and dsPIC DSCs…

ThreadX/MCU is tuned for Microchip's 16-bit line, and delivers true RTOS services in a small footprint that nicely fits our customers' needs. We're happy to welcome Express Logic and ThreadX/MCU to the network of Microchip partners and our product ecosystem…

ThreadX has been available only for 32-bit processors and DSPs. But through a cooperative effort with Microchip, Express Logic has created a brand-new version of ThreadX, called ThreadX MCU Edition (ThreadX/MCU), to support one of the leading 16-bit architectures in the embedded industry—Microchip's PIC24 microcontroller and dsPIC DSC families. ThreadX/MCU is a fully upward-compatible, reduced-size, fine-tuned 16-bit edition of Express Logic's popular 32-bit ThreadX RTOS and is available exclusively for Microchip's 16-bit PIC24 microcontrollers and dsPIC30/33 DSCs. ThreadX/MCU provides full preemptive scheduling, interrupt management, message passing, thread synchronization, resource locking, event management and timer control; and supports up to 10 threads, queues, timers, mutexes, event flag groups, block pools and byte pools…

The MPLAB IDE provides kernel-awareness for the ThreadX/MCU RTOS, giving developers insight into the status and operation of their application using ThreadX/MCU. To speed application development and reduce time-to-market, ThreadX/MCU is pre-configured to work with MPLAB out-of-the-box, enabling applications using ThreadX/MCU to be built, compiled, linked and downloaded with ease…
