Socorro, NM — (press release excerpt) — Finite State Machine Labs (FSMLabs) has announced that RTLinux and the RTLinux Development Kit are now available for several PowerPC 860 evaluation boards. Stress tests of the boards show worst case measured periodic jitter times of less than 14 microseconds. Context switch times have been measured at four microseconds worst case.

FSMLabs now offers RTLinux support for a wide range of PowerPC chips — from SMP G4s to embedded chips such as the MPC860 and the IBM PPC405GP.

FSMLabs Director of Engineering Cort Dougan said, “There has been strong customer demand for RTLinux support on the MPC860 family.”
