IP stacks work with high-level RTOS
Two dual-mode IPv4/v6 Internet protocol stacks are now available for Green Hills Software's Integrity real-time operating system.
IDE and compiler optimised for latest PowerPC
The latest version of the Green Hills MULTI 2000 integrated development environment is aimed at Motorola's new MPC7450 PowerPC microprocessor.
Developed by Green Hills Software's technology partner Interpeak, the IPnet and IPlite protocol stacks provide backward compatibility with current IPv4 requirements while overcoming IPv4's security shortcomings and 32bit address limitations.
"More and more safety-critical systems are requiring sophisticated networking support alongside software that complies with the highest levels of assurance for safety and security", said Dan Mender, Director of Business Development for Green Hills Software.
"These systems require a highly reliable and trusted operating system like our Integrity-178B RTOS and a complete, integrated networking solution".

Easier real-time high-availability embedding
Green Hills Software has integrated its MULTI 2000 integrated development environment and fault-tolerant Integrity RTOS with Rational Software's visual development environment.
"Soon IPv6 will be a common requirement in airborne systems as well as many other safety- and mission-critical systems".
"With our Interpeak partnership, Integrity-178B developers can build products today that will thrive in the expanded IPv6 Internet environment of the future".
"Next-generation networked devices will have to contain IPv6 capabilities due to requirements for increased security and new IP addresses", added Johan Fornaeus, Chief Executive Officer of Interpeak.
"Our dual-mode protocol stack technology, together with the Integrity-178B RTOS and its unique protection features, creates a powerful IPv4/IPv6 networking solution that is ready for the robust communications needs of secure and reliable embedded devices".
IPnet provides complete IPv4 and IPv6 networking solutions, supporting multiple network interfaces, NAT, PPP, built-in routing tables, VLAN tagging, quality of service and built-in advanced IP security (IPsec).
IPlite provides a small and compact dual IPv4/v6 protocol stack configurable from 17Kbyte of memory for embedded systems requiring a small footprint.
IPsec is optionally available for IPlite.
Both stack offerings have additional network applications available such as Telnet, FTP, TFTP, DNS and DHCP, along with L2TP, LDAPc, NAT, PPPoE, RIPv2, SNTP, web server, secure web server, MobileIP and SNMPv1/2c/3.
Additional security protocols such as Radius, Firewall, SSH, SSL and IKE are also available.
Both IPnet and IPlite are fully compatible with existing Internet standards, facilitating seamless support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
This enables Integrity-178B users to deploy IPv4-compatible systems today that are ready for IPv6, while retaining their investment in development tools, RTOS experience and application interfaces.
IPnet and IPlite run seamlessly in an Integrity-178B protected virtual address space. Request a free brochure from Green Hills Software ...
