ARM 7 and ARM 9 have been in the field for a number of years. They have been the work horses of the embedded microcontroller and low end microprocessor world with thousands of applications built around them. Generally though, unless coupled with large quantities of memory in the case of ARM 9, they have not had the option of running a tiny tiny embedded Linux - until now!
The 32 bit Unison RTOS offers a tiny tiny Linux compatible solution which is ideal for the ARM 7 architecture. ARM 7's small footprint in terms of memory size and its relatively low performance makes it a clear target for Unison and the newer ARM 7 TDMI without an MMU. The high performance of Unison offers good results on ARM 7.
ARM 7 is not at the beginning of its life today and as such it is not priority port of Unison today. If you would like to help accelerate this port, please tell us here.
The extensive features of Unison can easily be coupled with the power and pricing of the ARM 7 to provide great solutions for a broad set of problems. These solutions might include:
- portable and handheld video games
- portable and handheld instruments and meters
- wearable computers
- lighting control
- automotive control
- motor control
- and many more ARM 7 applications
Unison - the tiny tiny Linux compatable solution as a broad set of I/O libraries that may be incorporated into solutions. This I/O set includes the following:
- serial I/O
- synchronous serial
- multimedia file system
- flash file capabilities
- TCP
- UDP
- RPC, XDR, and NFS
- tftp
- httpd
- graphics
- CAN
- LIT
- and much more...
