Operating Systems
EION’s Common System Plane provides a perfect environment for developing high-performance communication software on a variety of operating systems. It simplifies the development of network applications and services that use inter-process communication, vent de-multiplexing, explicit dynamic linking and concurrency.
The Common System Plane provides low-level system services to other frameworks and includes an Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL) to provide a router controller and platform independence. The OSAL supports POSIX compliant operating systems and other general purpose and real-time operating systems. The main services provided include configuration management, thread management, memory pool management, logging, message queue and synchronization.
Some of the operating systems supported by EION’s Common System Plane are:
- Solaris
- VxWorks
- OSE
- Linux
- QNX
- Nucleus
- Other proprietary RTOS
