Introduction This manual covers the DOS and Windows based utilities and source code contained on the enclosed disks for the MINT™ based motion control products. 1.1 cTERM cTERM is a terminal emulator for the MINT™ programming language with the following features: ƒ File upload and download. ƒ Full screen programming editor in cTERM for Windows. cTERM for DOS allows any external editor to be called. ƒ VT100 compatible terminal screen. ƒ Support for the MINT Host Computer Communications Protocol. ƒ cTERM for Windows support the data capture facility of esMINT v2.67 for system tuning. Axis velocity or following information can be displayed on a graph. ƒ cTERM for Windows supports the MINT code squashing utility and can be setup to squash code on download. cTERM for DOS supports code squashing through the use of a DOS utility, SQUASH. cTERM is available both for DOS and Microsoft Windows on the enclosed disks. cTERM and MINT™ Utilities: Issue 3.0 Page 1 cTERM for Windows 2. MINT Programmer’s Toolkit The MINT Programmer’s Toolkit is a set of PC applications and examples for use with SmartMove. The main component of the MINT Programmer’s Toolkit is cTERM for Windows. Before starting, cTERM must first be installed on the PC. Insert disk 1 into the floppy drive. If you are running Windows 95: 1. Select Start and Run 2. Type A:\SETUP and follow the on screen instructions. 3. cTERM can be selected from the MINT Programmer’s Toolkit group. If you are running Window 3.1: 1. Select Run from the Program Manager 2. Type A:\SETUP and follow the on screen instructions. 3. cTERM can be selected from the MINT Programmer’s Toolkit group. 2.1 Selecting a Controller & COM Port The first time cTERM for Windows is used it will be configured for a EuroSystem (or member of the EuroSystem family i.e. SmartMove, EuroStep, EuroServo) on COM1. To specify a different controller, select ‘Controller’ from the ‘Setup’ menu. The controller dialog box (select ‘Controller’ from the ‘Setup’ menu) allows selection of: cTERM and MINT™ Utilities: Issue 3.0 Page 2 cTERM for Windows ƒ Controller Type: EuroSystem Family, NextMove/BX or ServoNode 34, 50 or 51. ƒ RS232 or RS485: Select RS485 if you are using a multi-drop RS485 system. Note that if you are using RS485 RTS/CTS will have no effect and should not be relied on to provide hardware handshaking. ƒ Address (RS485 only): If a multi drop system is being used, the controllers address should be entered here. Use RTS/CTS: In most cases RTS/CTS should be left on except: 1. When using a ServoNode 50. These do not support RTS/CTS, so cTERM for Windows will automatically clear the checkbox when you select ServoNode 50. 2. When using a NextMove/BX with MINT version earlier than 3.8. 3. If there is a problem updating the firmware with ServoNode 34 or 51. A problem has been found with some RTS/CTS on some PCs that only shows while operating at the higher speeds involved in updating the firmware. 4. If you are using RS485 RTS/CTS will have no effect. No hardware handshaking is available on RS485. The Setup COM Port dialog (select ‘COM Port’ from the ‘Setup’ menu) allows the serial port number and serial port speed to be specified. It is generally recommended that the highest baud rate supported by the controller is selected. i.e.: ƒ 19200 on the EuroSystem family of controllers running MINT v2.67 on higher (see the BAUD keyword in the MINT Programming Guide or MINT for NextMove Keyword Reference Guide). ƒ 9600 on the EuroSystem family of controllers running MINT version less than 2.67. ƒ 9600 on ServoNode 50. ƒ 38400 on NextMove BX (RS232) , 19200 on NextMove BX (RS485). 2.2 The Main Toolbar Many of the tools in cTERM for Windows can be launched from the main toolbar. All tools are described in greater detail later in the manual. Download File: if an editor is selected, the editor file will be downloaded. Otherwise a dialog box will prompt for

  • Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware
    Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware Yanyan Shen Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Computer Science and Engineering Faculty of Engineering March 2019 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Shen Given Name/s : Yanyan Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Faculty of Engineering School : School of Computer Science and Engineering Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Thesis Title : Hardware Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The thesis presents microkernel-based software-implemented mechanisms for improving the trustworthiness of computer systems based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that can malfunction when the hardware is impacted by transient hardware faults. The hardware anomalies, if undetected, can cause data corruptions, system crashes, and security vulnerabilities, significantly undermining system dependability. Specifically, we adopt the single event upset (SEU) fault model and address transient CPU or memory faults. We take advantage of the functional correctness and isolation guarantee provided by the formally verified seL4 microkernel and hardware redundancy provided by multicore processors, design the redundant co-execution (RCoE) architecture that replicates a whole software system (including the microkernel) onto different CPU cores, and implement two variants, loosely-coupled redundant co-execution (LC-RCoE) and closely-coupled redundant co-execution (CC-RCoE), for the ARM and x86 architectures. RCoE treats each replica of the software system as a state machine and ensures that the replicas start from the same initial state, observe consistent inputs, perform equivalent state transitions, and thus produce consistent outputs during error-free executions.

  • Chapter 1: Linux Operating System
    CHAPTER 1: LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM A bit of history What is Linux? A short answer to this question is "a computer operating system based on Linux kernel and GNU tools and libraries". In order to understand what Linux is, first we need to know different concepts such as Linux, kernel, and GNU. Formally, Linux is not an operating system. It's just a software component working as a bridge between applications and the data processing done by the hardware. Because of this fact, the kernel is the core component of an operating system. First Linux kernel was written by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Usually, the term Linux is used to refer to a whole operating system based on the kernel. However, an operating system needs more components to be complete. At this point, there are a number of operating system based on Linux kernel, plus a set of tools provided by the GNU open source project. What are GNU tools? Well, first of all we should learn about the GNU project. Basically, this is an open source project started by Richard Stallman with the goal of building a set of software components and tools to avoid the use of any software that is not free. Now that we've learned about Linux, kernel, and GNU, we can define a distribution as a composition of Linux kernel and GNU tools and other useful software. We've just mentioned a new concept—distribution. Have you heard about Linux mascot: Tux the penguin Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian? These three are examples of Linux distributions.

    Popcorn Linux: enabling efficient inter-core communication in a Linux-based multikernel operating system Benjamin H. Shelton Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Engineering Binoy Ravindran Christopher Jules White Paul E. Plassman May 2, 2013 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Operating systems, multikernel, high-performance computing, heterogeneous computing, multicore, scalability, message passing Copyright 2013, Benjamin H. Shelton Popcorn Linux: enabling efficient inter-core communication in a Linux-based multikernel operating system Benjamin H. Shelton (ABSTRACT) As manufacturers introduce new machines with more cores, more NUMA-like architectures, and more tightly integrated heterogeneous processors, the traditional abstraction of a mono- lithic OS running on a SMP system is encountering new challenges. One proposed path forward is the multikernel operating system. Previous efforts have shown promising results both in scalability and in support for heterogeneity. However, one effort’s source code is not freely available (FOS), and the other effort is not self-hosting and does not support a majority of existing applications (Barrelfish). In this thesis, we present Popcorn, a Linux-based multikernel operating system. While Popcorn was a group effort, the boot layer code and the memory partitioning code are the authors work, and we present them in detail here. To our knowledge, we are the first to support multiple instances of the Linux kernel on a 64-bit x86 machine and to support more than 4 kernels running simultaneously. We demonstrate that existing subsystems within Linux can be leveraged to meet the design goals of a multikernel OS.
