Results of Porting Real-time Front-end Software to Linux
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasingly less expensive, more reliable, state of the art, standard PC components, with the now stable operating system Linux, provide a solid base for a port of the Accelerator Control Front-End. The poster shows odds and evens of the project in all it's phases, from the analysis, through the implementation and testing, to the integration into the Accelerator Control operation. To better judge the results of the project, we provide the comparison against the existing Real-time Unix platform.

EPICS: A RETROSPECTIVE ON PORTING iocCore TO MULTIPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS
An important component of EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) is iocCore, which is the core software in the IOC (input/output controller) front-end processors. At ICALEPCS 1999 a paper was presented describing plans to port iocCore to multiple operating systems. At that time iocCore only supported vxWorks, but now it also supports RTEMS, Solaris, Linux, and WinNT. This pa...
متن کاملExperiences, Strategies and Challenges in Adapting PVM to VxWorks™ Hard Real-Time Operating System, for Safety-Critical Software
The role performed by Open Source Software in safety-critical systems is growing and gaining importance. Due to many, and large variety of, hard real-time constraints and functional requirements that safety-critical applications have to meet, these applications are nowadays composed by logical and physical components, deployed on heterogeneous distributed platforms. This paper is part of a stil...
متن کاملDesign of Embedded Systems for Real-Time Vision
In this paper we present a design methodology of real-time vision based embedded systems on PCs and other low-end platforms. We rst develope vision algorithms on the Linux platform and port the application on to a real-time kerner with pluggable scheduling policies and real-time guarantees. The kernel has been ported to both X86 and Philips Trimedia platforms. The methodology has been validated...
متن کاملPorting Epics to L4-linux Based System
Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is now widely used for many accelerator control systems. While the current and the former versions of EPICS have required VxWorks to run core software on Input/Output Controllers (IOCs), the next version (R3.14) is to be portable to many other platforms. Considering the recent trend toward Linux, it is an attractive candidate for the po...
متن کاملNew Front-end Computers Based on Linux-rtai and Ppc
The ELETTRA control system front-end computers are presently based on 68k VME boards and the OS-9 operating system. In view of the construction of the new booster injector and of a smooth upgrade of the existing control system, PowerPC VME boards running Linux have been adopted. The new platform provides reliability, performance and flexibility, while the RTAI (Real Time Application Interface) ...
