Hardware support for latest ARM-based controllers
The Tanto-ARM in-circuit emulator and debugger now supports the ARM9 series of microcontrollers.
High-speed emulator has USB controller covered
The DProbeHS in-circuit emulation system from Hitex now supports the USB 2.0 derivative AT89C5131 from Atmel.
Ardence's RTX Version 6.1 provides customers with a number of enhancements.
These enhancements provide RTX customers with the ability to support physical address extensions and applications written in Visual Basic and a device driver wizard.
Intel has provided the physical address extensions (PAE) virtual memory management feature to provide addressability of up to 64Gbyte of physical memory.
Currently, most IA-32 microprocessor operating systems are capable of supporting only 32bit memory addressing, and so are limited to 4Gbyte of memory.
This has changed with the shipment of Windows XP Pro SP2, which has added support for PAE and by default it is turned on.
RTX now provides support for PAE on all RTX supported HALs and RTX V6.1 can support up to 64Gbyte of internal memory in the target system.
Currently, the ability to develop device drivers is a time consuming effort for RTX OEM developers.
By providing a ready-made framework, the objective of the device driver wizard is to speed development of specialised or custom device drivers for RTX based applications.
Through the semi-automated GUI driven wizard framework for the development of RTX device drivers, the developer will be able speed time to market for their products based on RTX.
Many developers wish to use Visual Basic to develop their interface to RTX applications instead of using C or C++ to accelerate development.
RTX 6.1 now provides support for Visual Basic.NET.
