The VDX-6354 utilizes an onboard Vortex86DX Fanless 800MHz processor built for Low Power Consumption. The processor is highly integrated so that it reduces the price of any board utilizing this processor. Unlike other PC/104 SBCs the VDX-6354 maintains the true PC/104 standard form-factor and does not require “wings”. The VDX-6354 is available with an optional PC/104+ bus which allows it to access higher end PCI bus based modules. **Flash Disk not included.**
SIB-S201 is a small, fan-less embedded system. The size is no bigger than the palm of a hand and it supports Din rail/wall/desk mounting. SIB-S201 I/O is at the front and side, which is suitable for Din-rail assembly or other types of mounting. Reserve I/O ports are able to be upgraded with extension modules by demand. SIB-S201 is a semi-industrial system that allows for further extensions and is then equipped inside the machine cabinet. This system targets markets like Factory Automation, Equipment Integration, KIOSKs, and other space-limited machine equipment.
The VDX2-6554 PC/104 family of embedded controller is designed with backward compatibility in mind, to provide migration path for projects facing end-of-life challenges with their existing x86 based PC/104 controller. The VDX2-6554 family of controller is designed as a plug in replacement, with backward compatibility to support legacy software to help extend existing product life cycle without heavy re-engineering.
Xenomai Real-time
EMAC has been offering Xenomi Real-time operating system "RTOS" extensions as an option to our EMAC OE Embedded Linux distribution. Xenomai is offered as one of many optional off-the-shelf Linux modules available for our distribution. EMAC, can also provide custom Real Time Drivers and Application assistance if required. Additionally, EMAC provides a Xenomai SDK plug-in to our IDE for program development.
Xenomai is a Free Software project in which engineers from a wide background collaborate to build a versatile real-time framework for the Linux© platform. While Xenomai is a real-time development framework cooperating with the Linux kernel, in order to provide a pervasive, interface-agnostic, hard real-time support to user-space applications, seamlessly integrated into the GNU/Linux environment.
The main project goal is to help migrating industrial applications from proprietary real-time systems to Linux.
Xenomai is about making various real-time operating system APIs available to Linux-based platforms. When the target Linux kernel cannot meet the requirements with respect to response time constraints, Xenomai can also supplement it for delivering stringent real-time guarantees based on an original co-kernel technology.
Originally named Xenodaptor, the project that would soon become Xenomai was announced on August 2001 by Philippe Gerum. The Xenomai 1.0 milestone was reached in March 2002.
In its early days, Xenomai used to be an add-on component to real-time Linux variants for emulating traditional RTOS, originally based on a dual kernel approach. Over the years, it has become a full-fledged real-time Linux framework on its own terms, also available on single/native kernel systems.
Adeos/I-pipe are companion projects to Xenomai, which implements a key component of a dual kernel configuration: the interrupt virtualization mechanism delivering high priority events to the Xenomai co-kernel with short and predictable latencies. Xenomai was the first real-time extension to be ported over the I-pipe, followed a year after by RTAI.
In the 2003-2005 period, the original core team members – namely Gilles Chanteperdrix and Philippe Gerum – contributed significantly to the RTAI project, before focusing back on Xenomai’s own goals, which led to the release of Xenomai 2.0 in October 2005.
Since then, Xenomai 2 has been actively maintained and ported to various CPU architectures, for a user base mainly involved in the industrial automation industry.
The Xenomai 3 architecture introduces a paradigm shift, as users are no more tied to the dual kernel configuration enabled by the I-pipe, but may run the real-time APIs and their applications transparently over a single kernel configuration as well.
