I/O and Device Driver Support
For a list of supported devices please see the table below. Contact us directly if you are in need of support for a hardware device that is not shown in the table below.
Unlike a Windows protected-mode application, INtime protected-mode applications are afforded direct access to I/O and memory-mapped hardware. The INtime user-mode memory model does not restrict an application's access to the Intel Architecture IN and OUT instructions. And the INtime APIs include calls to map real hardware memory addresses into your real-time application's virtual address space, for direct high-speed access to your real-time hardware.
In many systems, a device driver is not needed to access the hardware in your real-time system. If you have C or C++ source code for your hardware device, either in the form of a device driver written for another operating system or as a hardware function library, you may be able to reuse that code as an INtime "device driver" or I/O library in your INtime application.
Currently available hardware device support
All the devices in this table are supported by INtime and iRMX for Windows, unless noted by an (*).
Not all of the software listed in the table below is available directly from TenAsys. If you have questions, please contact TenAsys directly.
Devices marked by an (#) in the following table are supported by Micronet, our Asian affiliate and partner. Micronet also offers a collection of device drivers
for I/O specific to Asia.
