| SCIOPTA USB Host Stack Released |
Today SCIOPTA Systems AG is announcing the immediate availability of the USB Host Stack for embedded systems running under the SCIOPTA real-time operating system.
The SCIOPTA USB host stack is specifically designed for embedded systems. It contains the core protocol stack, the required host controller device drivers, a low-level communication API and high-level class drivers.
SCIOPTA USB host stack provides high-level class drivers for keyboards, mice, touch screens, printers, mass storage devices (disks, memory sticks, floppies, digital cameras, CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.), and ASIX USB-Ethernet bridge devices.
SCIOPTA USB Hoast stack is royalty free and available for SCIOPTA supported CPUs which are equiped with USB host controllers. |

| Host Controllers |
| All major USB 1.1 and 2.0 host controller such as UHCI, OHCI and EHCI types are supported. These controller types are always supported, regardless of their respective vendor or model. |
| Transfer Type |
| All USB data transfer types/protocols (bulk, interrupt and isochronous) can be used to support both high throughput and real-time oriented devices.. |
| Data Transfer |
| Low, full, and high speed data transfer can be used. Up to 12 Mb/s on USB 1.1 and 480 Mb/s on USB 2.0 buses are supported. |
| Hot Plugging |
| The SCIOPTA USB host stack automatically detects devices and/or hubs being added and removed from the bus and can call application supplied callbacks for each event of such a type. The application can then decide whether to enable and operate the device or not. The host stack supplies functions to query a device's name, vendor, class, descriptors, interfaces, endpoints, etc. |
| Host Stack Class Drivers |
A hub class driver is integrated in the core USB protocol stack. Class drivers allow applications to use a device without being concerned about details, such as the transfer type and speed to use, etc.
The mass storage device class driver requires a file system such as SCIOPTA SFATFS.
The USB-Ethernet bridge drivers need the SCIOPTA IPS network stack. |

| 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. |
