INtime® 3.1 Software - tenAsys

INtime 3.1 Software
The RT Application Loader:
• Supports loading of both 32-bit Microsoft PE code (the output of Visual Studio)
and 32-bit OMF386 code.
• Supports both command line and dialog-based operation. Supports specification of
the file to load, optional debug arguments, and optional program arguments.
• Recognizes the file extension “.RTA” (for RT application).
The INtime Installation processes set up a file association so that an INtime application
loads automatically when a user double-clicks the file name in a supporting Windows
application (such as Windows Explorer). If a default node has not been established,
such an invocation (double-click of the filename) displays ldrta.exe’s user interface so
you can establish a default node.

LoadRtk.exe (INtime Kernel Loader)
A 32-bit Windows program that loads the RT kernel after Windows starts. When set to
automatically start, the Windows service manager launches the INtime Kernel Loader
at system startup. In this case, the loader loads the RT kernel after the Windows kernel
and after other Windows services, but before users log on. Otherwise, the INtime
Kernel Loader is started manually using the Services applet (Start>Control
Panel>Administrative Tools>Services).
The INtime Kernel Loader cooperates with the RT Interface Driver (RtIf.sys) to load the
RT kernel image set up by the INtime Configuration Utility.
First it loads the specified image into the memory allocated by the RT Interface Driver,
then it makes a request to the RT Interface Driver to start the RT kernel.
Note
You can configure the RT kernel to start automatically at boot time by using the Windows
Services Manager.
