Zeligsoft Code Generator (an add-in to CE) enables industrial strength Software Communications Architecture The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) is an open architecture framework that tells designers how elements of hardware and software are to operate in harmony within a software defined radio. SCA is a key element in the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). (SCA (Single Connector Attachment) An 80-pin plug and socket used to connect peripherals. With a SCSI drive, it rolls three cables (power, data channel and ID configuration) into one connector for fast installation and removal. ) component code generation. These tools can be ordered with Spectrum's flexComm(TM) SDR-3000 and SDR-4000 software reconfigurable radio platforms. Spectrum's SDR platforms also include a real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. , standards-based middleware, a hardware abstraction layer (operating system) Hardware Abstraction Layer - (HAL) The layer of Microsoft Windows NT where they have isolated their assembly language code. and comprehensive training and support services. The result is a complete commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) offering for defense and satellite communications systems integrators that promotes systematic risk-reduction from development through to deployment. Spectrum's platforms with Zeligsoft's visual modeling, validation and code generation tools adhere to the SCA, a standard that uses a distributed run-time environment and component-based software to facilitate application and platform portability and reusability. Customers developing with the SCA can order a core framework and board support package that is integrated with the Zeligsoft tool suite on Spectrum's platforms. "Adoption of the Zeligsoft platform-aware tool set for Spectrum's SDR-3000 has helped our customers implement their SCA-based projects more effectively," said Mark Briggs, VP Marketing, Spectrum Signal Processing. "The powerful features of the XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. Code Generator plus the enhanced Component Enabler 2.2 compelled us to offer this premier tool set with our SCA-enabled platforms so that our customers may benefit from a completely integrated and feature-rich development environment." "The combined Spectrum-Zeligsoft package simplifies the project planning and design effort for project teams tasked with delivering complex SCA-enabled products," said Kamal Krishnapillai, VP Sales and Marketing, Zeligsoft. "The tool suite allows customers to accelerate their development activities. The tight integration between Zeligsoft, Spectrum and our middleware partners mitigates the risk customers would incur by integrating themselves. In addition, the applications port more easily from development targets to future deployment platforms, including Spectrum's SDR-4000." The SDR-3000 and SDR-4000 packages with Zeligsoft CE and Code Generator are available now. Customers can purchase them directly through Spectrum Signal Processing or through Spectrum's authorized dealers.
