Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY Real-Time Operating System Selected by Honeywell; INTEGRITY to be Used for Manufacturing and Processing Programs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2003 Green Hills Software Inc., the technology leader in real-time operating systems and embedded software, today announced that Honeywell Industry Solutions has selected Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY real-time operating system (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. ) for its next generation process controllers. "Our customers depend on us to provide automation systems with the highest availability to control their industrial processes," said Peter Zornio, director, product marketing, Honeywell Industry Solutions. "We will rely on INTEGRITY for our next generation of highly reliable, redundant process controllers -- the heart of the automation system." Honeywell process controllers and other automation and control solutions are used in manufacturing and processing facilities throughout the world including pulp and paper mills, refineries, power generation facilities and chemical and pharmaceutical plants. "We are pleased INTEGRITY was selected by Honeywell for their next generation of process controllers," said Christopher Smith, vice president of marketing, Green Hills Software Inc. "Honeywell's use of INTEGRITY will enable them to achieve the highest reliability and availability." INTEGRITY is a small, fast, deterministic RTOS designed for applications that require total reliability, small size and real-time responsiveness. INTEGRITY provides support for distributed processor designs and offers the ability for extensive, non-intrusive field debugging and upgrading of a running system, critical to today's architectures. INTEGRITY provides comprehensive I/O file system support, including a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. host stack, NFS client and drivers for I2C, CompactPCI and VMEbus backplanes; clocks, timers and standard PC peripherals; a full-featured UNIX-compatible, hierarchical file system (1) See HFS. (2) A file system that organizes data and program files in a top-to-bottom structure. All modern operating systems use hierarchical file systems, wherein access to the data starts at the top and proceeds downward throughout the levels of the hierarchy. and Flash file system; and a POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for UNIX) An IEEE 1003.1 standard that defines the language interface between application programs and the Unix operating system. API. Comprehensive networking is provided, including such protocols as TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. , a small TCP/IP stack (TCP/IP-lite), UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. , RLOGIN (Remote LOGIN) A Unix command that allows users to remotely log into a server in the network as if they were at a terminal directly connected to that computer. Rlogin is similar to the Telnet command, except that rlogin also passes information to the server about the type of , BSD sockets, PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using , FTP, TFTP, DNS (Domain Name System) A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when a Web site address is given to the DNS either by typing a URL in a browser or behind the , DHCP, SNMP and Web server. INTEGRITY also supports a full line of embedded Internet software products and applications that make it easy to add Web connectivity management to target systems. INTEGRITY with MULTI MULTI Multiple supports full run-mode and stop-mode debugging. Run-mode debugging enables developers to stop and debug one or more tasks while the remaining tasks and the kernel continue to run. This enables the running system to be debugged while continuing to process interrupts and transfer data.
