ALT="OS-9 for 68k" BORDER="0" ID="Picture32" WIDTH="518" HEIGHT="302"></p> <h2>Product Features</h2> <h3>OS-9 Kernel</h3> <p>The OS-9 kernel provides a secure, process-based, multi-tasking environment for embedded systems. OS-9's use of position-independent, reentrant code modules allows the kernel to dynamically load application and/or system modules at run-time. This capability enables system designers to add or update software modules across the network during development or in the field.</p> <h3>SoftStax Communications Framework</h3> <p>SoftStax is a high-performance communications subsystem that supports a wide variety of standard and custom networking protocols.SoftStax's architecture and API layer allow applications to be written independent of the underlying protocols, device drivers and network media for portability.With SoftStax, applications can utilize several protocol stacks during a single communications session, and switch protocols depending on the network requirements. The Enhanced OS-9 for 68K package includes a TCP/IP protocol stack and popular Ethernet drivers.</p> <h3>MAUI Embedded Multimedia Support</h3> <p>Microware's MAUI graphics solution provides a rich set of text, drawing and animation functionality with windowing, clipping, and inking service to support the graphical interface.The small and fast graphics subsystem takes advantage of the real-time design features of OS-9.MAUI supports numerous I/O devices, including greyscale and color LCD panels, SVGA/VGA graphics terminals, touchscreens, mice, keypads/keyboards, and other devices commonly found in man-machine interfaces.</p> <h3>Serial/Parallel I/O</h3> <p>The Sequential Character File Manager (SCF) I/O subsystem handles basic character oriented I/O devices, such as serial ports, parallel ports and modems. It also functions as the input path for a variety of MAUI devices, such as keypads, mice and touchscreens.</p> <h3>Storage I/O</h3> <p>The Random Block File Manager (RBF) I/O subsystem implements a hierarchical, UNIX-like file system for data storage.Enhanced OS-9 for 68K includes a RAM disk device driver for OEMs whose devices require temporary storage during operation.</p> <h3>PCMCIA I/O</h3> <p>Enhanced OS-9 for 68K features PCMCIA technologies to support a variety of popular PCMCIA devices including modems, ATA flash and hard disks, 8250 serial devices, Ethernet and more.</p> <h3>Hawk Integrated Development Environment (IDE)</h3> <p>Microware's Hawk IDE is designed to increase the efficiency of OS-9 development. Hawk's highly integrated tool set simplifies and automates the tasks of creating, debugging, analyzing and managing complex real-time software development projects. The development environment includes the Codewright code editor, compiler, linker, object loader, application and system level debugger, application profiler, and on-line documentation.</p> <h3>OS-9 Configuration Wizard</h3> <p>The OS-9 configuration wizard provides a graphical user interface which simplifies the sometimes complex task of configuring and building system images.Simply point and click for networking, TCP/IP configuration, graphics, or debugging and the wizard automatically creates a software image for your target.</p> <h2>Product Contents</h2> <p>Enhanced OS-9 for 68K contains the following software integrated on CD-ROM: <ul TYPE="DISC"> <li>OS-9 RTOS</li> <li>MAUI multimedia I/O system</li> <li>SoftStax communications framework</li> <li>BSD v4.4 TCP/UDP/IP LAN networking</li> <li>Sample application source code</li> <li>Finished ported boot image for reference platform(s)</li> <li>Device driver source (in licensed package only)</li> <li>OS-9 configuration wizard</li> <li>Microware Hawk IDE including:</li> <ul TYPE="CIRCLE"> <li>Premia®'s Codewright code editor</li> <li>Source code browser</li> <li>Project manager</li> <li>Ultra C/C++ Compiler</li> <li>Hawk system and user state debugger</li> <li>Resident toolset</li> <li>On-line help</li> </ul> </ul> <h2>System Requirements</h2> <h3>Host Development System</h3> <ul TYPE="DISC"> <li>Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or NT</li> <li>Pentium processor</li> <li>32 MB RAM</li> <li>250-350 MB free disk space</li> <li>CD-ROM drive</li> </ul> <h3>Target System</h3> <table BORDER="1" WIDTH="475" ID="Table15"> <tr> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="2"><p align="center">Base OS-9 Configuration (Baseline) </td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="2"><p align="center">Baseline OS-9 with TCP/IP connectivity (Networked) </td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="2"><p align="center">Networked OS-9 with multimedia (Multimedia) </td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="73">RAM</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">ROM</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">RAM</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">ROM</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">RAM</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="73">ROM</td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="73">64K</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">64K</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">256K</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">256K</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="74">512K</td> <td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="73">512K</td> </tr> </table> <h2>Hardware Support</h2> <h3>Ethernet Controllers</h3> <ul TYPE="DISC"> <li>i82596</li> <li>3COM EtherLink III PC CARD</li> <li>DEC21040</li> <li>DEC21140</li> <li>SMC91c94</li> </ul> <h3>Serial Device Support</h3> <ul TYPE="DISC"> <li>8530</li> <li>16550</li> </ul> <h3>Physical Disk Media</h3> <ul TYPE="DISC"> <li>IDE standard</li> <li>PCMCIA IDE</li> </ul> <h2>Documentation</h2> <p>Extensive tutorial-style documentation is included on the product CD-ROM.The searchable documentation includes getting started manuals, using guides, programming references, and porting guides.For additional user convenience, help files can be accessed directly from the Hawk development tool.</p> <h2>Professional Services</h2> <p>Elsoft's and Microware's professional services teams work individually with clients to customize the right set of services for each client's challenges.Our goal is to make each customer successful through premier advisory services and software engineering solutions.This approach delivers complete solutions that are on time and on budget.</p> <h2>Training & Support</h2> <p>Our #1 rated application support engineers can quickly and effectively diagnose problems and answer customer questions.Training seminars can accelerate your development cycle by giving you hands-on experience with Ariel, guided by our experienced training engineers.</p> <hr> <h3>Contact Information</h3> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>Telephone</td> <td><strong>+41 (0)56 483 34 64</strong><img src="../images/smallnew.gif" alt="smallnew.gif (905 bytes)" WIDTH="25" HEIGHT="14"></td> <td rowspan="4"><img src="../images/elsoft-big.gif" alt="[Esloft AG logo]" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="64"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>FAX</td> <td>+41 (0)56 493 30 20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td>Taefernstrasse 20, CH-5405 Daettwil</td> </tr> <tr> <td>E-Mail</td> <td><a href="mailto:info@elsoft.ch">info@elsoft.ch</a></td> </tr> </table> <p>Information contained in this document is subject to change without notice.<br> Other products and companies referred to herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies or mark holders.<br> Copyright © 1997-2001 Elsoft AG, Switzerland</p> <p>Last modification: 05 April, 2000 /sp</p> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </BODY>
