IIlM~ 11.3: tt COMr£ETE IlEttt.-TIME<br />

twEll.4TINQ SYSTEM<br />

IRMX system software is used in more real·time designs<br />

than any other operating system. There are over 500.000<br />

CPUs worldwide running the iRMX Operating System.<br />

making it the most widely accepted st<strong>and</strong>ard real·time<br />

operating system for microprocessor· based designs.<br />

The iRMX 11.3 Operating System provides a rich set of real·<br />

time programming facilities not found in general·purpose<br />

operating systems such as DOS. OS/2" or UNIX**. These<br />

include:<br />

• Pl'!X!mptive. dynamic priority·based scheduling of<br />

application tasks<br />

• Bounded interrupt latency<br />

• Multitasking support for real·time applications<br />

• Inter·task communications through priority·based<br />

mailboxes. semaphores. <strong>and</strong> regions<br />

• Interrupt management with exception h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />

• Cross or on·target development<br />

The iRMX 11.3 Operating System also offers high<br />

performance <strong>and</strong> code integrity. iRMX typically responds<br />

100 times faster than general·purpose operating systems.<br />

enabling real·time applications to keep up with the rapid<br />

data <strong>and</strong> control now of machine <strong>and</strong> communication<br />

interfaces. Code integrity is ensured through sophisticated<br />

memory protection schemes.<br />

F'inally. the iRMX 11.3 Operating System is highly<br />

configurable. Its modular design allows you to select only<br />

those functions <strong>and</strong> device drivers that are required. This<br />

keeps memory requirements to a minimum. Guided by the<br />

many examples in the System 120 Development Toolkit<br />

documentation. you can add custom device drivers <strong>and</strong><br />

applications to the iRMX Operating System.<br />

CONI'IQIJIlATIONS<br />

The System 120 is available with a number of memory <strong>and</strong><br />

mass storage options to fit a range of applications. These<br />

include a basic system with 8 open slots. <strong>and</strong> a 40M·byte<br />

hard disk system with an 80387 <strong>and</strong> noppy disk (see<br />

Table I).<br />

Intel offers PC·AT add·in boards for the System 120 that<br />

include: 2M·byte <strong>and</strong> 8M·byte 32·bit memory boards. the<br />

OpenNET PCLlNK2 networking board <strong>and</strong> the iPex 344A<br />

BITBUS" board. A st<strong>and</strong>ard keyboard is also available.<br />

Development Toolkits are available for development <strong>and</strong><br />

testing of applications. These toolkits contain the System<br />

120 (in 40M·byte or 80M·byte configurations). iRMX 11.3 <strong>and</strong><br />

languages. an editor <strong>and</strong> a debugger (see Table 2). The<br />

iRMX 11.3 Operating System includes a pre·conflgured<br />

operating system. object modules <strong>and</strong> device drivers.<br />

interface libraries. <strong>and</strong> a powerful tool for system<br />

generation.<br />

Syste. IflO Dere/o".e., 'I'oo/ldl:s<br />

You can develop applications directly on the system using<br />

the System 120 Development Toolkit. In addition ,to the<br />

special version of the iRMX 11.3 Operating System for the<br />

System 120. the toolkit contains: PIJM 286 Compiler. ASM<br />

assembler. AEDIT <strong>and</strong> a source level debugger. Soft·Scope'"<br />

II. Intel also offers a number of compilers (C, F'ortran.<br />

Pascal). performance <strong>and</strong> debug tools for iRMX 11.3.<br />

Toolkits are also available for the development of MULTI BUS<br />

<strong>and</strong> component·level· applications. These are packaged with<br />

a preconfigured operating system <strong>and</strong> allow development of<br />

MULTI BUS I <strong>and</strong> MULTIBUS II applications on a low-cost<br />

System 120 platform.<br />
