Developers at Trilithic needed an embedded operating system that was simple to use and easy to install. They also wanted a flexible business model to control costs.
The decision centered around four OSes: Blunk, Nucleus OS, VxWorks and Windows CE. Nucleus OS 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.
"We needed a robust OS with a networking stack and support at a reasonable price for two simultaneous design projects,” said Gary Sinde, project engineer, Trilithic. “Overall, Nucleus OS has proven to be a solid running OS by providing the reliable foundation we needed to successfully develop our products. Nucleus OS perfectly met our design needs."
