integration with Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET (VS.NET) development environment. In addition to standared Windows, INtime supports Windows XP Embedded, the componentized version of Winsows XP Pro.
INtime 3.0 can be deployed on any platform that utilizes a standard Microsoft HAL, uniprocessor, or multiprocessor. With it, SMP and HT systems can be configured in either shared or exclusive mode. A shared multiprocessor system splits one CPU between the INtime RTOS extension and Windows, with all other CPUs dedicated to Windows. Multiprocessor systems configured for exclusive real-time operation dedicate one CPU to the INtime RTOS and its real-time processes, while the remaining CPUs are dedicated to Windows and its processes.
Now that INtime is integrated with Microsoft's VS.NET tools, developers can edit, compile, link, debug, and trap process faults in their real-time Windows applications without leaving the VS.NET development environment. The INtime 3.0 debugger plug-in lets developers monitor real-time variables, debug real-time processes, and capture real-time faults directly from within the VS.NET debugger. INtime 3.0 software includes full access to breakpoints, source-level single-stepping, and watch variables for real-time processes and threads, all from within the familiar VS.NET development environment, eliminating the need to master a second set of development tools.
