RTOS-PPC

real-time operation system for PowerPC

The real-time operation system RTOS-PPC is a further development of the proved and tested Beck operation system RTOS.
It is preinstalled on each IPC@CHIP SC2x3 and can be updated from the computer via chip-tool application using TCP/IP or via RS232. User applications are developed into individual, rechargeable executables. Thus, operation system and application are clearly separated. The RTOS-PPC also supports the Memory Management Unit (MMU) of the power PC processor to shield application programs and operation system against each other.
C/C++ applications are decoded through the ONE workbench, transmitted into the internal IPC@CHIP^® file system via FTP and executed by the Executable Loader on the RTOS-PPC. Separation between data system and RTOS with integrated web server allows for development of websites, using all standard web development tools like Macromedia Flash, Java Applets, …
The integrated "Command Shell" offers the option to control the basic function of the operation system via Telnet client, SSH client or serial interface. A favorably documented API as well as a complete software library enables easy communication between its application and all other IPC@CHIP^® functions in the systems hard- and software.
