element14, part of the Premier Farnell group, signed a global distribution agreement with Micriµm, a supplier of embedded RTOS solutions for the global engineering community.
Micriµm is used by embedded design engineers building microprocessor, microcontroller, and DSP-based solutions. Applications include medical, military and aerospace, industrial, consumer and telecom.
In this agreement, Micriµm will extend their product and marketing support to element14, and collaborate on new product information via the element14 knode, the online design platform that is focused on the needs of electronic design engineers.
The element14 knode provides one interface to a world of engineering design solutions. It supports the complete design flow from concept to final production and enables engineers to research, design, develop and prototype manufacture in a single, intelligent environment.
Based on an engineer’s initial specification it automates the creation of explicit dependencies and inter-relationships with other system level components to build a custom design flow – whether it be development kits, design tools, operating systems and stacks, Intellectual Property or services such as PCB design and manufacture. These have all been integrated into one place: the element14 knode – KNOwledge for Design Engineers.
“We are proud to become a part of the world’s first revolutionary design automation platform – the element14 knode, “said Jean Labrosse, founder, CEO and President of Micriµm. “We are impressed with what the new functionality has to offer and would like to see our collaboration assist with its further development.”
