CMX-MicroNet First TCP/IP Software Stack to Provide E-mail for Most Embedded 8- and 16-Bit Devices.Business/Technology Editors Embedded Systems Conference Chicago 2001 CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2001 SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. functionality facilitates interactive communication between designers, users, and remote devices Today at the Embedded Systems Conference (Booth #506), CMX Systems, designer of real-time operating systems and TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. software, today introduced e-mail functionality for its CMX-MicroNet TCP/IP software stack. For the first time, most 8- and 16-bit devices can offer continuous feedback capabilities via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol See SMTP. (messaging) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - (SMTP) A protocol defined in STD 10, RFC 821, used to transfer electronic mail between computers, usually over Ethernet. It is a server to server protocol, so other protocols are used to access the messages. (SMTP), the standard e-mail protocol on the Internet. SMTP is a TCP/IP protocol that defines the message format and message transfer agent The store and forward capability in a messaging system. See messaging system. (messaging) Message Transfer Agent - (MTA, Mail Transfer Agent) Any program responsible for delivering e-mail messages. (MTA (1) (Message Transfer Agent or Mail Transfer Agent) The store and forward part of a messaging system. See messaging system. (2) See M Technology Association. 1. (messaging) MTA - Message Transfer Agent. ), which stores and forwards the mail. SMTP enables a processor to literally "push" important information to an end user, providing product developers a new paradigm New Paradigm In the investing world, a totally new way of doing things that has a huge effect on business. Notes: The word "paradigm" is defined as a pattern or model, and it has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework. in communicating with their products. It saves design engineers time by eliminating the need to poll the product information at regular intervals. The new functionality also improves customer service with instant identification and notification of problems by the device itself. And because CMX-MicroNet allows TCP/IP, STMP STMP - Did you mean SMTP? and other standard protocols to run natively on the host 8-bit processor, it eliminates the need for significant re-design of legacy systems. "SMTP functionality is a huge evolutionary step for the 8-bit device," said Chuck Behrmann, president of CMX Systems. "With it, developers will have an economical solution to communicate with devices running in remote locations. By enabling an 8-bit device to send e-mail or serve up a Web site and FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to files from anywhere in the world, CMX CMX Corel Presentation Exchange (file extension) CMX Cisco Mobile Exchange CMX Cloaca Maxima (sewage system of ancient Rome; Finnish rock band) CMX Crisis Management Exercise is quickly bridging the functionality gap with larger processors." About CMX-MicroNet: CMX-MicroNet is a scaled down TCP/IP software stack with a total ROM footprint of less than 20Kb for 8-bit processors or those 16-bit processors that require a single-chip solution with no external memory. CMX-MicroNet supports more 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors than any other existing solution, including full support for all derivatives of the 8051, the Atmel AVR, Hitachi's H8S/300H and H8S/2000, the Infineon 80C16x, the Microchip PIC18CXXX, the Mitsubishi M16C, the Philips 8051-XA, the STMicroelectronics ST10, and ZiLOG's Z80, Z180, and eZ80 series of processors. Due to CMX-MicroNet's inherently flexible design, developers also have the option to port to other platforms as well. Pricing and Availability: CMX-MicroNet is currently available, starting at $5,500 for the base system. SMTP is an add-on module that costs $1,500. All CMX software includes complete source code, no royalties on deployed products, and free technical support/updates. About CMX Systems, Inc.: Since its inception in 1990, CMX Systems has focused on providing its customers with all of the tools needed to program their embedded applications. The company's core business is to develop and support real-time, multi-tasking operating systems (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ) and TCP/IP stacks for a wide variety of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcomputers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The company's CMX-RTX, CMX-RTXS, and CMX-Tiny+ real-time multi-tasking operating systems support more than 40 processor families and over 30 C-compiler vendors. CMX also develops and supports products that enhance the user's ability to create, test and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. application code, including CMXKAware(TM), CMXBug(TM), and CMXTracker(TM). CMX TCP/IP(TM), a full-featured TCP/IP stack for 16- and 32-bit processors, also is sold by the company. CMX recently released CMX-MicroNet, which is a unique TCP/IP stack that is targeted for 8-bit processor target platforms. In addition to developing RTOSes, debugging tools, and networking software, CMX also distributes a wide variety of C tools, including compilers, assemblers, linkers, librarians, simulators and ROM debuggers from many well-known manufacturers.
