Platform Description
The RZ/A family of microprocessors from Renesas combine an ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with large on-chip RAM, graphics processing and standard interfaces necessary to collect, store, and communicate information. The on-chip RAM on RZ/A can eliminate the need to add external memory and the complexity of routing high speed memory signals, making for an extremely compact embedded platform with an MPU. The RZ/A is an ideal platform for ITTIA DB SQL, an embedded database library used by embedded software to save information safely and efficiently on flash media.
ITTIA DB SQL is a relational database management software library for embedded systems and intelligent Internet-of-Things devices. It is a full-featured robust data management technology that scales down to meet the constrained resource requirements of embedded systems. Products built with ITTIA DB SQL are fast and scalable, and run on modern operating systems such as Windows, Linux, INTEGRITY, QNX, ThreadX, Nucleus, μcOS-II, μcOS-III, and VxWorks – even with a custom file system and without an operating system.
Demonstration
Consider a scenario in the medical sector. A simple, non-invasive electronic patch, resembling a temporary tattoo, produces a continuous stream of information about a patient's health. And because a readout instrument is required to view and record this vital data, the RZ/A1 and ITTIA DB SQL provide an ideal platform for a device to collect and process the information produced by an electronic medical patch.
For example, a diabetic patient can use this information to monitor the level of glucose in their blood and take proactive measures. Should a medical emergency arise, the medical history stored on such an RZ/A1 device could prove invaluable to first responders, especially when combined with measurements from other medical equipment available in an ambulance. However, an urgent situation does not leave enough time to review all available information. The capability to rapidly process and query that information becomes essential.
