Specifications

HawkEye Visualization

HawkEye is a GUI-based visualization tool for the OS-9 operating system. HawkEye captures and analyzes logs of all the various system events, such as process forks and exits, context switches, system calls and interrupts, as well as application-specific messages. With all process interaction presented in an intuitive, graphical format, developers save a significant amount of time when debugging or optimizing applications.

Virtualization

The Microware Hypervisor allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on hyper-threaded single core or multi-core processors such as Intel Core Duo and Intel Xeon. The Hypervisor runs the OS-9 real-time operating system (RTOS) along with Windows and Linux general purpose operating systems (GPOS), creating a parallel processing environment. The environment provides direct hardware access to OS-9 for guaranteed real-time performance. The Microware Hypervisor enables consolidation of multiple systems onto a single platform. The result is a reduced total cost of ownership, easy porting and the ability to reuse application software, optimized system performance and improved system reliability.

XiBaseGui

XiBaseGui is a powerful graphical user interface and language development tol for rapid creation, customization and testing of compelling human machine interfaces (HMI) and touch screens for embedded systems and multimedia devices. The XiBaseGUI comprehensive tool suite and graphics libraries facilitate rendering of displays and generating application source code, that can be compiled and debugged on the same host platform that runs the Microware Hawk IDE tool suite.

IPSec

The IPSec soft-crypto based suite of protocols secures IP communications by authenticating and encrypting each packet in a data stream.

EtherCAT

The EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) stack - an open, high performance Ethernet-based field bus used for industrial automation - is optimized for OS-9 platforms.

CANbus

For automotive applications and to connect industrial computing devices, the CANbus (Control-area network) stack is optimized for OS-9 platforms.

Modbus

Popular in control and data acquisition of industrial devices, the Modbus serial communications stack is optimized for OS-9 platforms.

Reliance File System

Reliace File System provides additional level of safety to OS-9 systems by protecting system data directories and files. The file system works on any OS-9 platform and suports transaction points allowing the system to 'rollback' and access the last-known good data in the event of system power loss.

TrueFFS

The FTL (flash transition layer) is a standard Flash file system providing disk emulation for OS-9 storage. TrueFFS for OS-9 utilizes standard disk file managers and a flash file device driver for data access and protection.
