Ethernet I/O System.(from Intelligent Instrumentation)(Brief Article)

Green Hills Software Inc., the technology leader in real-time operating systems and embedded software development tools, has announced real-time operating systems (RTOS) support for the Intel IXP2400 and IXP2800 network processors and their development platforms. Software developers can now develop and deploy their network edge and core applications for the ......

Linux is an emerging technology that will affect many mechanical engineers. Here's what one advocate says you should know about it. A QUIET REBELLION IS UNDER way in the world of computer operating systems and software. The rebels refer to themselves as the Open Source Movement. Their doctrine is called ......

Everyone rewrites the book on this operating system. Today's increasingly intelligent instrumentation and control systems require the services of a sophisticated, state-of-the-art operating system (OS). Applications demand high-resolution, user-friendly graphical user interfaces (GUIs); TCP/IP connectivity; substitution of rugged and reliable flash memory for magnetic-media disk drives; 32-bit ultrahighspeed CPUs; large ......

RabbitSys is an operating system for Ethernet-enabled, embedded applications. The RabbitSys kernel is available preloaded on the RCM3365 RabbitSys core module and lets embedded-systems designers update, monitor, configure, detect, diagnose, and debug embedded systems from remote locations. The operating system safeguards access to embedded-system resources, like I/O and system memory, ......

Preface Over the past decade, computer systems based largely on commodity processors from manufacturers such as AMD, Cyrix, and Intel, commodity operating systems such as Linux, Novell, and Windows, and industry-standard I/O protocols such as Ethernet, PCI, and SCSI, have rapidly moved upmarket into many mission- and performance-- critical server ......

Although Linux has captured the imagination of embedded-device designers worldwide, commercial operating systems continue to dominate real-time applications. With a multiuser architecture, a non-pre-emptable kernel, and a scheduler based on fairness instead of priority, Linux forced developers to rewrite portions of it or install a second kernel to gain real-time ......
