"Combined with the high performance and reliability of OS-9, we offer a compelling solution for today's increasingly complex embedded applications".
Microware OS-9 Version 4.1 provides IPv6 through a modular dual IPv4/IPv6 enabled network stack implemented within OS-9's powerful and flexible SoftStax networking framework.
OS-9's full featured dual IPv4/IPv6 enabled stack is based on NetBSD v1.5.1 and provides a socket API and standard TCP/IP suite functionality for both IPv4 and IPv6 network application environments.
The IPv4/IPv6 stack will be included with the standard OS-9 RTOS, along with OS-9's previous BSD 4.4 IPv4-only stack, and has been validated with other OS-9 addon products.
This ensures existing OS-9 customers have a smooth transition path for IPv6 application development without the need to purchase a separate component.
In addition to the availability of IPv6, Version 4.1 provides numerous enhancements and improvements.
Microware OS-9 is a high performance, high reliability complete real-time operating system solution for embedded application development.
OS-9 includes the Microware SoftStax Communications framework, Microware Configuration Wizard and Microware Hawk integrated development environment with a comprehensive set development and debugging tools.
OS-9 is also equipped with an extensive set of APIs for graphics, audio and input.
Radisys also offers Microware OS-9 addon products, such as PersonalJava Solution for OS-9, USB host and peripheral SDK's for OS-9, Emanate/Lite SNMP for OS-9, XiSys' XiBase9 for OS-9 real-time GUI, Access Software's NetFront for OS-9 embedded web browser, the True Flash File System (TrueFFS) for OS-9.
Microware OS-9 v4.1 for ARM, StrongARM, and SH-4 will be available in Q4.
Microware's OS-9 v4.0 for IXP1200, a big-endian version of OS-9 with IPv4/IPv6 support, is available for purchase now.
Radisys also offers free, 60-day fully functional OS-9 evaluation packages.
