Improve Your AVR32 Development
Let our extensive experience with the AVR32 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.
ARV32 Optimizations
ThreadX optimizes context switching on the AVR32. 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, i.e. registers R0-R7.
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 (registers R8-R12). The full register set is saved only if thread preemption is required.
Flexible Interrupt Model
ThreadX supports the variety of shadow register options on the AVR32B as well as the stack-based register architecture of the AVR32A. All interrupt processing uses a separate system stack and as mentioned previously, full context saving/restoring is performed only when thread preemption is necessary.
Nested Interrupt Handling
ThreadX also fully supports nested interrupts.
Evaluation Board Support
ThreadX demonstrations are available for all major evaluation platforms, including the EVK1100 and the STK1002 boards.
Development Tool Choices
ThreadX is fully integrated with IAR development suite. Please visit the following links for more information on ThreadX-aware integration with these products:
