Cellnetrix offers secure embedded operating system for Cortus-based M2M and IoT integrated circuits
November 2015 by Marc Jacob
Cellnetrix, a specialist in secure embedded software, and Cortus announce that the CellSIM secure embedded operating system will be available for Cortus 32-bit APS processor IP cores. CellSIM, already widely deployed in securing SIM/USIMs for telecommunications, will enable the developers of systems-on-chip (SoCs) for IoT and M2M to secure their communication protocols and to securely update their firmware over the network.
For connected SoCs with higher demands for security, Cellnetrix CellSIM provides a secure mechanism for the remote updating of firmware. Such updates neither affect previously downloaded applications nor their data. In addition it implements a miniature Java virtual machine, which can run on small power-constrained devices such as IoT edge devices, smart cards and wireless sensors.
The Cortus family of APS processors offers a wide choice of computational performance and system complexity for SoCs in IoT, M2M and smart sensor applications. In addition to processor IP, Cortus offers a wide choice of peripherals and SW development tools. To date well over 800 million devices have been manufactured containing Cortus processor cores.
