Error Messages Index Installation and Startup iii Notational Conventions Most of the references to system calls in the text and graphics use C syntax instead of PL/M (for example, the system call send_message instead of send$message). If you are working in C, you must use the C header files, rmx_c.h, udi_c.h and rmx_err.h. If you are working in PL/M, you must use dollar signs ($) and use the rmxplm.ext and error.lit header files. This manual uses the following conventions: • Syntax strings, data types, and data structures are provided for PL/M and C respectively. • All numbers are decimal unless otherwise stated. Hexadecimal numbers include the H radix character (for example, 0FFH). Binary numbers include the B radix character (for example, 11011000B). • Bit 0 is the low-order bit. If a bit is set to 1, the associated description is true unless otherwise stated. • Data structures and syntax strings appear in this font. • r? denotes an invisible file. • System call names and command names appear in this font. • PL/M data types such as BYTE and SELECTOR, and iRMX data types such as STRING and SOCKET are capitalized. All C data types are lower case except those that represent data structures. • Whenever this manual describes I/O operations, it assumes that tasks use BIOS calls (such as rq_a_read, rq_a_write,andrq_a_special). Although not mentioned, tasks can also use the equivalent EIOS calls (such as rq_s_read, rq_s_write,andrq_s_special)orUDIcalls(dq_read or dq_write)todothe same operations. ✏ Note Notes indicate important information.

  • N94-13338 1.1.1 3Rd NASA Symposium on VLSI Design 1991
    N94-13338 1.1.1 3rd NASA Symposium on VLSI Design 1991 Experience with Custom Processors in Space Flight Applications M. E. Fraeman, J. R. Hayes, D. A. Lohr, B. W. Ballard, R. L. Williams, and R. M. Henshaw Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Laurel, Maryland 20723 Abstract- APL has developed a magnetometer instrument for a Swedish satel- lite named Freja with launch scheduled for August 1992 on a Chinese Long March rocket. The magnetometer controller utilized a custom microprocessor designed at APL with the Genesil silicon compiler. The processor evolved from our experience with an older bit-slice design and two prior single chip efforts. The architecture of our microprocessor greatly lowered software development costs because it was optimized to provide an interactive and extensible pro- gramming environment hosted by the target hardware. Radiation tolerance of the microprocessor was also tested and was adequate for Freja's mission-- 20 kRad(Si) total dose and very infrequent latch-up and single event upset events. 1 Introduction The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has developed a micro- processor that is well suited to one-of-a-kind embedded applications especially in satellite instrument control. The chip has been qualified for use in a magnetometer instrument for the Swedish Freja satellite. The processor's language directed architecture reduced Freja software costs because the flight hardware served as its own development system. Thus, unlike traditional interpreted programming languages like Basic, Lisp, or Smalltalk, our Forth language development system was fully supported on the embedded flight proces- sor. Performance was also equivalent or better than that obtained by other microprocessors programmed in languages like C with traditional cross-compilers and development systems.

    Design of the FAT file system A FAT file system is a specific type of computer file system architecture and FAT a family of industry-standard file systems utilizing it. Developer(s) Microsoft, SCP, IBM, [3] The FAT file system is a legacy file system which is simple and robust. It Compaq, Digital offers good performance even in very light-weight implementations, but Research, Novell, cannot deliver the same performance, reliability and scalability as some Caldera modern file systems. It is, however, supported for compatibility reasons by Full name File Allocation Table: nearly all currently developed operating systems for personal computers and FAT12 (12- many home computers, mobile devices and embedded systems, and thus is a bit version), well suited format for data exchange between computers and devices of almost FAT16 (16- any type and age from 1981 through the present. bit versions), Originally designed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, FAT was soon adapted and FAT32 (32-bit version used almost universally on hard disks throughout the DOS and Windows 9x with 28 bits used), eras for two decades. Today, FAT file systems are still commonly found on exFAT (64- floppy disks, USB sticks, flash and other solid-state memory cards and bit versions) modules, and many portable and embedded devices. DCF implements FAT as Introduced 1977 (Standalone the standard file system for digital cameras since 1998.[4] FAT is also utilized Disk BASIC-80) for the EFI system partition (partition type 0xEF) in the boot stage of EFI- FAT12: August 1980 compliant computers.
