Real-Time congatec pays special attention to real-time capability during product development. The congatec BIOS/UEFI implementation is of particularly high quality, yielding significantly improved real-time results for OEM customers. By cooperating with OSADL, this real-time capability can be tested over an extremely long time. Real-Time Hypervisor Hypervisor support from Real-Time Systems makes the embedded computer technologies from congatec even more attractive. It allows multiple operating systems to be installed on a multicore x86 platform without impacting real-time capability. Each sub-application can be implemented with the appropriate operating system – e.g. real-time data acquisition with VxWorks, the user interface with Windows, and a firewall with Linux. Since Real-Time Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of congatec, the distances between the two companies are very short, which gives OEMs a time advantage in support cases and promotes interdisciplinary solutions. Security By providing numerous BIOS/UEFI security options and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support, congatec enables customers to implement a high level of security that is optimized for their specific solution requirements. Real Time Hypervisor harness the power of today’s multicore processors Hard Real-Time Performance: Multiple Operating Systems in Perfect Harmony - Combine real-time operating systems like VxWorks®, QNX Neutrino or Real-Time Linux , with e.g. Microsoft™ Windows® - Operating systems reside simultaneously on an x86 computer while maintaining the hard real-time characteristics of an RTOS - User-definable boot sequence - Reboot any operating system anytime without disturbing the execution of other operating systems - Communication via high performance virtual TCP/IP network and flexible shared memory Advantages About the Hypervisor - Reduced system costs and physical size - All operating systems operate completely independent - Hardware consolidation - User defined startup sequence of operating systems - Hard real-time performance - Any operating system can reboot without affecting other - Maximum flexibility in system functionality operating systems - Increased reliability (MTBF) as no additional hardware - All operating systems safely separated and protected - required for additional operating system - Standard development tools can be used (supplied by the operating system vendors) - Works seamlessly with COTS and proprietary operating - Standard drivers can be used - no special development - systems required - Proven in thousands of systems worldwide - NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) fully supported - OS independent drive sharing Real Time Hypervisor harness the power of today’s multicore processors The innovative Real-Time Systems Hypervisor permits multiple operating sys- tems - both real-time (RTOS) and general purpose operating systems (GPOS) like Microsoft™ Windows® or Linux - to run concurrently on multicore x86 proces- sors.

  • ETX Driving Embedded
    An ACCES I/O Products Whitepaper ETX Driving Embedded I/O ACCES I/O Products, Inc., 10623 Roselle Street, San Diego, CA 92121 (858) 550-9559 • Fax (858) 550-7322 • [email protected] • www.accesio.com One of the fastest-growing concepts in the embedded world is the “computer-on-module” or COM.The COM approach takes the traditional concept of a computer motherboard with plug- in I/O modules and turns it around so that the motherboard, now called a baseboard, con- tains all the I/O and the CPU with its core support chips and memory plug in as a module. The result of this reversal is an approach that blends the advantages of custom design with those of standard products. Products based on the COM approach maintain long-term viabil- ity while retaining access to the latest in computer technology. One of the principal COM implementations available in the market is the Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) specification, first developed by Kontron in early 2000. The ETX specification defines a module that is approximate- ly 100-mm square (see Figure 1) and contains the core of a personal computer (PC), including CPU, chipset, mem- aper ory, and core I/O capability. The core I/O includes Ethernet, graphics, USB, keyboard, mouse, and serial interfaces along with a PCI/ISA bus for connection to additional peripherals. Four surface-mount connectors route the mod- ule’s I/O to the baseboard, which can be designed to meet an application’s specific needs. P The original ETX specification was quickly adopted in the embedded industry and is now monitored by the ETX Industrial Group (ETXIG), which is dedicated to keeping the specification in line with advancing technology and market needs.
