Phoenix-RTOS for eSi-RISC

Phoenix Systems and EnSilica have ported Phoenix-RTOS, designed for single and multicore embedded systems applications, to the eSi-RISC family of highly configurable soft processor cores. The embedded RTOS uses eSi-RISC’s hardware MMU with memory protection and security features such as data execution protection. This development also paves the way for embedded power line and wireless smart grid solutions with the combination of Phoenix Systems’ proposed smart grid software protocol stacks and eSi-RISC’s support for custom instructions accelerating performance and improving PHY layer implementations.
