Connex Micro

The first software framework for resource-constrained real-world applications.

Overview

Connext Micro provides a small-footprint software framework for autonomous systems that have minimal memory and CPU power, and that may not even have an operating system.

Meets stringent size, weight, and power requirements with performance, scalability, reliability, and security well beyond the reach of traditional connectivity frameworks.
Satisfies demanding real-time performance requirements while meeting stringent resource constraints.
Reduces development costs to minimize the amount of custom connectivity or integration code developers would otherwise have to create.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

  • Small memory footprint
  • User-configurable feature set through build options
  • Support for low-power CPUs
  • Scalability from embedded 16-bit microcontrollers to multicore 64-bit CPUs
  • Bundled source code
  • Pre-built support for Linux (x86), Windows, FreeRTOS (ARM), VxWorks (PowerPC) and devices without OS (ARM)
  • Portability to other embedded or real-time operating systems
  • Completely decentralized and easy-to-embed architecture with no message brokers or daemon processes
  • Standards compliant: based on DDS programming interface and RTPS wire interoperability protocol
