Nucleus RTOS Chosen for the 9581 SST Return Path Analyzer from Trilithic

The decision centered around four OSes: Blunk, Nucleus RTOS, VxWorks and Windows CE. Nucleus RTOS was chosen for its robustness and ease of use. Developers also liked the availability of Nucleus software training, specific processor support and tested integration with their chosen compiler.

Nucleus RTOS has a successful reputation for providing the foundation for many embedded applications in the industrial controls market. The comprehensive software family includes kernels, networking, USB, graphics and file system software.
