Development Tools

The INtime RTOS development environment is highly-integrated with the Windows environment, and gives you all the benefits of the standard Windows application development and debugging tools.

Every element of an INtime application is created using the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE, with full access to the INtime API and context-sensitive help. Real-time Visual Studio wizards are included for rapid prototyping and deployment of real-time systems that include direct access to I/O hardware without the need to develop complex kernel-mode applications or Windows device drivers.

Integration with Visual Studio

The INtime real-time development environment is fully integrated with Microsoft’s Visual Studio IDE, the first real-time OS to provide this level of integration, eliminating the need to master a second set of development tools. You edit, compile, link, debug, and trap process faults without ever leaving the Visual Studio development environment.

In the event of a CPU fault in your real-time application, the affected real-time process is suspended and the Visual Studio debugger opens at the precise point of the exception; unrelated real-time and Windows processes continue to run without interruption.

.NET to INtime interface component

The INtime NTX API is a library that provides C and C++ Windows applications with functions to coordinate actions and share data with real-time INtime processes and threads. A .NET component is included with the INtime SDK so that Windows programs written in any .NET language, such as Visual Basic and C#, can communicate with real-time applications deployed on the INtime virtual machine.

Windows XP Embedded SLD file

Using the INtime Microsoft Component Definition file (SLD file) for Windows XP Embedded, you can build real-time applications optimized for the Windows XPe platform. The INtime SLD file is compatible with all versions of Windows XPe.

Support for Win64

INtime supports Windows XP x64 Edition, enabling 64-bit Windows applications to be deployed as cooperative processes with INtime real-time applications on a single hardware platform. Support for the Win64 platform means complex, memory-intensive, real-time Windows applications can be easily deployed.
