Products and services from TTE Systems
Products from TTE Systems are based on time-triggered technology. Use of time-triggered (TT) technology helps to ensure that your applications have very predictable behaviour, and makes them easier to debug and test.
The benefits of TT technology are widely recognised, which is why this approach has been used in the aerospace industry for some 30 years. However, the cost of developing TT designs has put this technology out of the reach of many developers. Now - after more than a decade of research (and several patent applications) - the advent of the cost-effective RapidiTTy™ family means that the benefits of TT technology are available for use in a much wider range of applications.
RapidiTTy™ development tools
Our RapidiTTy™ development tools target microcontrollers (MCUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and ‘PC’ (x86) hardware from a very wide range of hardware manufacturers.
A key benefit of our independent nature is the ease with which designs created using our tools can be migrated between targets: for example, developers can prototype on an x86 platform and migrate the final design to a microcontroller- or FPGA-based product within a few minutes. Alternatively, microcontroller-based designs which have “run out of steam” can be “ported up” to an Intel® Atom platform with equal ease.
A range of RapidiTTy™ toolboxes is also available. These toolboxes offer additional benefits to users of RapidiTTy™ tool suites.
The TTE32™ family
The TTE32™ family of soft processor cores and related soft microcontrollers target a growing range of FPGA targets, including devices from Xilinx® and Altera®.
InfiniTTy™ RTOS
Our InfiniTTy™ real-time operating system (RTOS) supports a range of modern embedded platforms, including off-the-shelf microcontrollers, FPGAs and PC hardware.
InfiniTTy™ is fully configurable using the RapidiTTy™ IDE, and is fully compatible with the TTE32™ family of soft processor cores and related soft microcontrollers.
Training services
TTE Systems is very pleased to be working in partnership with the University of Leicester (the “UK University of The Year”) to deliver a very popular new MSc programme in Reliable Embedded Systems.
The MSc in Reliable Embedded Systems involves studying over a two-year period, on a part-time basis. While anyone is welcome to apply, the programme is primarily intended to be taken by working engineers who are in full-time employment.
To summarise how this programme works: you need to be available for three weeks per year (over two years) to attend intensive (5-day) training courses (that is, you need to attend three courses per year). You also need to find time for private study, and for project work.
In 2009, this MSc programme is being delivered both in the UK and in Malaysia. It is expected that other countries will be added to this list from 2010.
Further information is available from this website and from the University of Leicester WWW site
Individual modules on the MSc in Reliable Embedded Systems are also offered as stand-alone (5-day) training courses.
University programme
Our University Programme provide cost-effective access to RapidiTTy™ products for universities and colleges, as well as for individual students currently enrolled in these institutions.
We can also provide various teaching materials and laboratory testbeds supporting the development of time-triggered embedded systems.
