Improve Your StarCore Development

Let our extensive experience with the StarCore family of microprocessors help your product development. ThreadX, our high-performance real-time kernel, helps improve your product's quality and its time-to-market. In addition, using ThreadX makes it easier to enhance your product in the future.

StarCore Optimizations

ThreadX optimizes context switching on the StarCore. When context switching occurs inside of a ThreadX service call, only the registers preserved across function calls are saved as part of the thread's context.

A similar technique is used in interrupt handling. On the front end of interrupt service routines, only the compiler's scratch registers are saved initially. The full register set is saved only if thread preemption is required.

Advanced Development Tool Integration

ThreadX is fully integrated with the Metrowerks CodeWarrior and Green Hills MULTI development tools, including advanced ThreadX-aware debugging.
