The secure process-model architecture is fully reentrant, position independent and protects against accidental or malicious system corruption. Module CRCs validate executable module integrity, and the module header enables dynamic feature addition, removal, or replacement while the device is on-line and in-use for high product availability.</p> <h3>SoftStax Communications Framework</h3> <p>Microware's SoftStax networking solution utilizes the OS-9 I/O framework to provide a high-performance communications subsystem that supports a wide variety of standard and custom networking protocols.Applications written to SoftStax can run over any supported protocol and are network independent.</p> <h3>MAUI Embedded Multimedia Support</h3> <p>Microware's MAUI multimedia environment provides a rich set of text, drawing and animation services with windowing, clipping, and inking services to support the graphical interface. The small and fast graphics subsystem takes advantage of the real-time design features of OS-9.</p> <h3>Power Management</h3> <p>The OS-9 kernel implements a sleep state; a necessary kernel feature for implementing power management. A customizable power policy module provides easy specification of the power policy for your device. The power policy enforcement module enforces the defined power policy for the entire system. The OS-9 I/O is powerful and designed to implement power-down or low-power operation when notified by the power manager.</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 StrongARM also includes a RAM disk device driver for devices that require temporary storage during operation and a PC file system for PC-AT compatibility.</p> <h3>PCMCIA I/O</h3> <p>Enhanced OS-9 for StrongARM features PCMCIA to support a variety of popular PCMCIA devices including modems, ATA flash & hard disks, 16550 compatible 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> <h3>PersonalJava for Embedded Systems</h3> <p>PersonalJava for OS-9 is engineered to match the speed, stability and size requirements of embedded devices.Java reduces the overall development time because developers are able to take advantage of the object-oriented features of Java, use the simulation capability of host system like Windows 95, and leverage the compatibility of Java for OS-9 and other desktop environments.</p> <h2>Product
