VxWorks OS Support — VMISFT-7418 Board Support Package:
The VMISFT-7418 is a Wind River Systems, Inc. certified board support
package (BSP) for GE Fanuc’s series of VMEbus Pentium processorbased computers, which is required to run the VxWorks OS. With the
SBC, VxWorks, the BSP, and other VMEbus equipment from GE Fanuc,
implementations can be created for a wide variety of applications,
including real time factory automation, simulation, instrumentation and
control, and process control and monitoring.
The BSP is linked with VxWorks OS, thus allowing software applications
created with Wind River Systems, Inc.’s development system to load
and run on the particular GE Fanuc SBC hardware being used. Serial
ports, parallel ports, keyboard, text mode video, and Ethernet
transceivers are all supported, as well as floppy and IDE hard disk drives
that can be connected to the computer boards. The BSP provides Flash
boot, NVRAM and timer support.
The BSP allows VxWorks applications to have access to the VMEbus.
When hardware includes single cycle and block transfers using DMA
devices, they are supported by the BSP, as well as interprocessor
communications with mailbox registers. VMEbus interrupt handling and
error handling are supported. Since the VMEbus environment often
contains a mixture of devices from various manufacturers, the byteswapping feature is provided to allow big-endian and little-endian
devices to share data correctly.
QNX OS Support — VMISFT-7417 Board Support Package: The
VMISFT-7417 BSP provides QNX support and includes a VMEbus
manager, user API, and configuration files needed to run the QNX BSP
on GE Fanuc’s VMIVME-7xxx SBC products. This BSP provides
customizable VMEbus access. Using the QNX OS on the VMIVME-7xxx
SBCs provides a computing platform suitable for real time applications.
QNX provides the applications programmer with a real time extensible
POSIX OS.
GE Fanuc’s VMISFT-7417 is designed to tailor QNX’s x86 OS to the
VMIVME-7xxx platform. This combination provides a self-hosted
development environment which runs entirely on the VMIVME-7xxx SBC
boards without requiring any external host systems.
Solaris OS Support — VMISFT-7416 Board Support Package: The
VMISFT-7416 BSP includes everything necessary to allow installation of
the Solaris Intel edition OS (available separately from Sun
Microsystems, Inc.) onto VMIVME-7648 SBC. This BSP includes a nexus

driver for VMEbus access. It allows military and telecommunications
and other applications to take advantage of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s
Solaris OS on a VMEbus-based Intel SBC. This BSP and the Solaris OS
provides POSIX-compliant real time characteristics.
LynxOS x86 Support — VMISFT-7419 Board Support Package:
The VMISFT-7419 BSP includes all of the device drivers and
configuration tables needed to install the LynxOS x86 development
system (available separately from Lynx Real-Time Systems, Inc.) onto
GE Fanuc’s VMIVME-7648.
Using the LynxOS on the GE Fanuc SBCs provides a computing platform
suitable for hard real time applications. LynxOS provides the
applications programmer with a stable development environment based
on industry-wide standards such as POSIX and Motif.
I/O Support — VMISFT-9450 IOWorks Board Drivers: This driver
supports GE Fanuc’s extensive line of VME I/O boards, and is available
for Windows NT/Windows 2000 and VxWorks. IOWorks board drivers
take advantage of all the key benefits and features of each supported
I/O board and new I/O boards are constantly being added.
IOWorks board drivers contain both a C++ class library and a C function
library that provide a common interface to GE Fanuc I/O products for
reading, writing and configuring. You do not need to know the details of
how an individual board is programmed. For instance, you can use the
SetAttributes function on any supported GE Fanuc board; the
WriteAnalog function controls the output from any GE Fanuc analog
output board; or the GetScanMode function retrieves the scan mode for
any GE Fanuc analog board.
