RTOS |
The AMXTM
Real Time Operating System (RTOS),
first released in 1980, has been recognized as a superior
RTOS which meets the critical needs of the most challenging
real time applications. Yet it remains simple, easy to use and
understand, and flawless in its operation.
The AMX RTOS is available for many different
target processors.
For each processor family, KADAK supports software development
toolsets
from one or more of the industry's best known tool vendors.
Each AMX implementation is thoroughly exercised using KADAK's
exhaustive test suite running on each of the hardware platforms
for which KADAK provides AMX
board support.
AMX is compact and modular as can readily be seen from the
memory size
measurements which we do not hestitate to publish.
And if execution speed, interrupt response and task switching
times are of utmost concern to you, take a look at our real
timing figures
for any of the supported processors.

The AMX Prototyping System (TAPS)
can be used to test your 32-bit
AMX application on a Windows®
workstation. TAPS lets you
test your AMX system even before your target hardware is available.
TAPS is a fully functional AMX implementation
including a real time clock, ensuring that your tested system
is ready for the final move to your embedded system.

The KwikLook Fault Finder
enhances the ability of your debugger to test applications which
incorporate KADAK's AMX RTOS.
KwikLook adds true AMX task-awareness to a variety of popular
Windows based debuggers.
