| SCIOPTA Introduces Graphical Configuration Tools |
|
SCONF is a new graphical tool that can be used to configure SCIOPTA systems. All systems settings for specific targets such as CPU, Compiler, memory definitions, timer setup and all static modules, processes and message pools can be configured in an easy and straight-forward way.
SCONF automatically generates three source files containing the configurable part of the kernel. These files will be included in the SCIOPTA build process. The configuration settings are stored in an external XML file.

| SCIOPTA sconf.exe Configuration Tool |
The kernel of a SCIOPTA system needs to be configured before you can generated the whole system. In the SCIOPTA configuration utility SCONF (sconf.exe) you will define the parameters for SCIOPTA systems such as name of systems, static modules, processes and pools etc.
The SCONF program is a graphical tool which will save all settings in an external XML file. If the setting are satisfactory for your system SCONF will generate three source files containing the configurable part of the kernel. These files must be included when the SCIOPTA system is generated.
A SCIOPTA project can contain different SCIOPTA Systems which can also be in different CPUs. For each SCIOPTA System defined in SCONF a set of source files will be generated. |

| About SCIOPTA |
SCIOPTA Systems develops, sells, supports and maintains systems software for safety-critical embedded applications.
This includes real-time operating systems, network software, file systems, software for interface bus systems, board support packages and other system software.
SCIOPTA is a message based real-time operating system with many built-in safety functions and is therefore very well suited for software forming part of safety-related systems. SCIOPTA is in the process of certification by TÜV to IEC61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3).
But SCIOPTA is more than just an RTOS. It is a new and modern approach to design embedded systems. The direct message passing method allows easy and time-saving design of robust and secure systems. Applications based on the SCIOPTA Method can cover small static SoC designs to large dynamic distributed systems. |
