| CeWin Version 3.3 by KUKA Controls KUKA Controls has announced the latest release of CeWin, a real-time extension for Windows XP. With CeWin Version 3.3, applications can take full advantage of the latest multiprocessor systems from Intel and AMD. Improved memory partitioning allows greater flexibility in allocating the protected Windows CE memory area. Support has been added for both Windows CE 5.0 and Windows XP Service Pack 2, while developers benefit from the latest Microsoft development environments and enhancements to the CeWin API. CeWin Version 3.3 is available now through the global distribution and support network of KUKA Controls. CeWin enables the coexistence of two operating systems on one processor, in part, by dividing the PC memory so that Windows CE and Windows XP each execute in separated and protected memory areas. No modifications are made to either operating system allowing developers to take full advantage of previous experience and existing code while maintaining maximum flexibility. The CeWin 3.3 evaluation is available as a free download on KUKA Controls' website athttp://www.kuka-controls.com.It offers the complete functionality of the full version for a 30-day test period. The improved memory partition technique, implemented with CeWin 3.3, no longer requires the use of the MAXMEM parameter and allows configurable allocation of the RTOS memory within RAM. Utilization of the x86 MMU guarantees reliable separation of the memory areas and also ensures memory integrity and system stability. API enhancements include functions to enable date and time synchronization between Windows CE and Windows XP; assign Windows CE processing time to ensure minimum Windows XP execution. CeWin can now be started as a service, allowing your application to begin real-time processing without user logon. Microsoft Target Designer support allows developers to integrate CeWin into customer-specific Windows XP Embedded images. With Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2, developers can incorporate the use of the "Hibernate once, resume many" feature in their CeWin applications. "Hard" system shutdowns are now possible at all times, guaranteeing the reinstatement of a factory-set state within an extremely short boot time, making CeWin appealing for applications requiring quick starts. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
