accessing the advanced VMEbus Access architecture of the
VMIVME-7750. Running on Windows XP/Windows 2000. VMEbus
Access is both sophisticated and easy to use.
The function library, VMEbus toolset and open architecture
VMEbus Access offers make it one of the most powerful
products on the market today. It provides compatibility with
existing GE Fanuc Embedded Systems VME PC platforms and
compatibility within the future VME PC platforms GE Fanuc
Embedded Systems creates.
The VMEbus Access development package gives you everything
you need to develop applications for your VME operations. This
package includes the VMEmanager™ function library and four
utilities that enable you to easily configure a VMEbus,
dynamically monitor VMEbus activities, manage VMEbus data,
and use DDE-client applications.
VMEbus Access provides powerful tools for developing,
debugging and monitoring VMEbus applications and increasing
VMEbus performance. The flexible design of VMEbus Access
enables you to incorporate it as a standalone solution or use it
to open your VMEbus operations to the IOWorks product suite.
VMEbus Access manipulates the hardware behind the scenes.
With VMEbus Access, you can develop applications in or use
existing applications developed in most programming
environments. For example, VMEbus Access enables your
VMEbus to recognize applications developed in these popular
programming environments:
• IOWorks Manager™
• LabVIEW
• Citect
• Wonderware InTouch
• Visual IOWorks®
•
• Visual Basic®
Visual C++®
VxWorks OS Support — VMISFT-7418 Board Support Package:
The VMISFT-7418 is a Wind River Systems, Inc.’s certified board
support package (BSP) for GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ series
of VME Pentium processor-based computers, which is require
to run the VxWorks OS. With the SBC, VxWorks, the BSP, and
other VME equipment from GE Fanuc Embedded Syste

The BSP is linked with VxWorks OS, thus allowing soft
applications created with Wind River Systems, Inc.’s
development system to load and run on the particular GE Fa
Embedded Systems SBC hardware being used. Serial po
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 bo
BSP provides Flash boot, NVRAM and timer support.
The BSP allows VxWorks applications to have access to th
VMEbus. When hardware includes single cycle and block
transfers using DMA devices, they are supported by the BSP,
are 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 byte-swapping fea
is provided to allow bi
share data correctly.
QNX OS Support — VMISFT-7417 Board Support Package:
VMISFT-7417 BSP provides QNX support and includes a VMEb
manager, user API and configuration files needed to run the
QNX BSP on GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ VMIVME-7xxx SBC
products. This BSP provides customizable VMEbus access. Usin
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 Embedded Systems’ VMISFT-7417 is designed to tailo
QNX’s x86 OS to the VMIVME-7xxx platform. This combination
provides a self-hosted development environment which runs
entirely on the VMIVME
external host systems.
Solaris OS Support — VMISFT-7416 Board Support Packa
VMISFT-7416 BSP includes everything necessary to allow
installation of the Solaris Intel edition OS (available separately
from Sun Microsystems, Inc.) onto the VMIVME-7750 SBC. This
BSP includes a nexus driver for VMEbus access. It allows m
and telecommunications and other applications to take
advantage of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s Solaris OS on a VME
based Intel SBC. This BSP and the Sol
compliant real time characteristics.
LynxOS x86 OS Support — VMISFT-7419 Board Support
Package: The VMISFT-7419 BSP includes all of the device dr
and configuration tables needed to install the LynxOS x86
development system (available separately from Lynx Real-Time
Systems, Inc.) onto GE Fanuc Embedded Systems VMIVME-7750.
Using the LynxOS on the GE Fanuc Embedded Systems SBC
provides a computing platform suitable for hard real time
applications. LynxOS provides the applications programmer
with a stable development environm
standards such as POSIX and Motif.
I/O Support — VMISFT-9450 IOWorks Board Drivers: This
driver supports GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ extensive line o
VME I/O boards and is available for Windows XP/Windows 2000
