Improve Your PIC32 Development

Let our extensive experience with real-time operating systems help your product development. ThreadX, our high-performance real-time kernel, optimized for Microchip’s PIC32 microcontroller, 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.

PIC Optimizations

ThreadX optimizes context switching on the PIC32. 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.

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. The full register set is saved only if thread preemption is required.

Flexible Interrupt Model

All interrupt processing uses a separate system stack and as mentioned previously, full context saving/restoring is performed only when thread preemption is necessary.
