San Diego, CA - August 18, 2003 - Enea Embedded Technology, formerly OSE Systems, and a subsidiary of Enea Data (SAXESS: ENEA), today announced the availability of Swell Software's Portable Embedded GUI (PEG) for the OSE real-time operating system. The 100-kbyte, event-driven GUI, which occupies only 8 kbytes of RAM, makes it easy for embedded developers to create custom, intuitive GUIs for deeply-embedded systems running the OSE RTOS. OSE PEG is tightly integrated with the OSE RTOS, providing full support for OSE's memory protection, multitasking, message-passing, and interrupt processing facilities. Enea Embedded Technology will resell the PEG GUI as an option for the OSE RTOS.
"The ability to add sophisticated GUIs to embedded devices connected to the network is a requirement for our customers", said Vance Hilderman, vice president of Enea Embedded Technology. "The integration of PEG with the OSE RTOS makes it easy for developers to add a robust, intuitive, high-performance GUI to high-availability, OSE-hosted applications with tight resource constraints. Now, embedded designers can get the OSE RTOS and PEG GUI fully integrated from a single source."
"OSE's fast, deterministic response, message-passing paradigm, and memory protection facilities make it a perfect fit for our event-driven GUI," added Ken Maxwell, president of Swell Software. "Now, designers of high-availability, real-time systems running the OSE RTOS can add a compact, robust ROMable GUI customized to their application. We're excited to see Enea offer a one-stop bundled solution that combines our GUI with their high-availability RTOS."
OSE PEG is a complete development kit and class library for creating professional quality GUIs. The PEG package includes tools for building visual screens (WindowBuilder), generating custom fonts (FontCapture), and compressing and ROMing arbitrary images (ImageConvert). OSE PEG's hardware and OS encapsulation classes enable custom OSE PEG user interfaces to run as a standard 32-bit Windows application. This enables designers to develop, simulate, debug and test their custom PEG GUIs on a standard Windows PC.
The OSE PEG library, written entirely in C++, is small, fast, and easily ported to virtually any hardware configuration capable of supporting graphical output. The library provides all the GUI controls, indicators and other objects needed to build a custom GUI, including windows, toolbars, menus, dials, bars, dialog and status boxes, buttons, charts, lights, and scales. PEG imposes no artificial limit on how objects are used, leaving developers free to design screens that provide an indefinite nesting of controls within any hierarchy of windows.
OSE PEG supports a broad range of input devices, including keypad, softkeys, mouse, joystick, and touch screen. OSE PEG also supports a variety of pointer bitmaps and hardware cursors, and provides complete mouse and touch screen input drivers for all supported reference platforms. OSE PEG supports two-byte characters and unicode string encoding. OSE PEG can also incorporate very large character sets in memory-limited embedded systems.
OSE PEG is available immediately for a wide range of microprocessors, including those from Motorola (PowerPC), ARM, and MIPS. OSE PEG is also available for the OSE Soft Kernel simulator. The royalty-free price is $ 7995 for a project license.
