Description

XD Ada MC68040/ARTX Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems is a product extension to the XD Ada MC68040 Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems cross-development software product, integrating it with the Ready Systems (now Microtec Research) ARTX™ real-time executive.

XD Ada™ was jointly developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (now Hewlett-Packard) and EDS (now HP Enterprise Services), and provides a validated implementation of the full ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A-1983 Ada language. XD Ada MC68040/ARTX Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems runs on the AXP™-series and VAX™-series processors under the OpenVMS™ Operating System.

It is designed for use in embedded systems, supporting the generation of optimized and relocatable code for targets using the Motorola MVME167 VMEmodule™ Monoboard Microcomputer.

The XD Ada run-time and tasking systems are fully integrated with ARTX, relying on its services for the basic support of Ada language constructs and real-time features. ARTX services are also made available to applications by inclusion in the predefined Ada library.

The ARTX extension also offers scope to extend XD Ada functionality via the product options listed below:

· ARTscope Debugger Option

· Input/Output Option

· Networking Option

· Multiprocessor Option

XD Ada Features with ARTX

XD Ada MC68040/ARTX Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems supports all of the features of XD Ada MC68040 Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems. Supplied with XD Ada MC68040/ARTX Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems are the following:

· ARTX ‘‘silicon software’’ components providing tasking, intertask synchronization and communication (semaphores and message passing), memory, realtime clock, I/O and interrupt services

· Predefined library including interface packages to make ARTX facilities directly callable from Ada applications

· Reconfigurable, modular run-time system with optimized rendezvous performance

· Three methods of host-target communication as follows:

— Ethernet™ interface

— RS-232-C serial interface

— OpenVMS Mailbox interface for nonstandard host-target links

ARTscope Debugger Option

The ARTscope™ debugger option permits the use of the Ready Systems ARTscope debugger. This has some knowledge of the internal structures used by ARTX, and allows the interrogation and debugging of ARTX data and supporting tasks, etc.

Input/Output Option

The Input/Output option provides full integration with IFX™, the ARTX I/O and file manager executive. This offers an MS-DOS-compatible target filing system (based on RAM and SCSI disks) and serial devices. Its facilities are available both directly to Ada applications as system calls, and via the predefined Ada I/O packages TEXT_IO, SEQUENTIAL_IO and DIRECT_IO.

Networking Option

The Networking option provides integration with TNX™, the ARTX TCP/IP networking executive. This offers applications the industry standard TCP/IP protocol via a Unix socket-like interface.

Multiprocessing Option

The Multiprocessing option provides integration with MPV™, the ARTX multiprocessing executive. This permits applications to run as co-operating Ada programs, one (or more) per CPU, synchronized and communicating by the MPV primitives.

Host Software Components

The XD Ada MC68040 Version 2.1 for OpenVMS Systems host software consists of a run-time system object code library which provides the support required at run time; only the modules used by a program are included at build time.

Target Software Components

The target environment consists of the following:

· Ready Systems ARTX real-time executive — Provides basic target management services and tasking primitives

· Run-time system — Provides Ada language support based on the ARTX services

· Target debug kernel — Provides support for loading and online debugging from the host Sufficient XD Ada target software is supplied in source form so that it can be reconfigured for other target configurations based on the MC68040 processor. It may be configured to support only those features needed.
