"Very nice. Would reduce our regulatory workload if projects built on this template were more common. It would be easy to develop a corresponding regulatory checklist."

Staccato™ is a new mindset in architecting software for complex reactive real-time embedded systems. As an RTOS alternative, the Staccato™ architecture provides for the continuous and direct execution of Finite State Machine-encoded tasks. The resulting embedded software application is a 'system of Finite State Machines' which has excellent real-time performance, even at low processor clock speeds, thereby reducing the power consumed by your embedded system.

Staccato™ is versatile, scalable, easy to learn and use, and can be deployed on any platform that supports C-Language tools; 8-bit microcontroller-based through 32-bit embedded-DOS/PC-type products, single or multiple processors.

The Staccato™ System Core is comprised of an elegant 'executive', inter-task communication capabilities, a system timer, and an API consisting of useful system calls.

The Staccato™ Crossroads SDK with IEEE Certified Training Program offered for sale here will show engineers how to partition a software system into tasks, and how to encode each task as a Finite State Machine (FSM). You will also learn how to properly document your embedded software system design to meet the strictest of currently recommended guidelines for validation and verification. Staccato™ provides a consistent set of skills across your development team. Embedded Software Project Managers, Software Engineers and Hardware Engineers can benefit from learning and using Staccato™. Reduce your risks and schedules (and headaches) and increase your productivity (and confidence) by purchasing the Staccato™ Crossroads SDK with IEEE Certified Training Program, and learning the Staccato™ Design Method NOW!!
