RabbitSys™ – Conquering Embedded System Reliability
Problems
Embedded engineers know that code and software inherently have bugs. On the other hand, you need to provide the most reliable system deployment to prevent costly field servicing. RabbitSys reduces the possibility of field failure, and provides for easy access
to your devices for remote management.
The RabbitSys kernel as loaded onto
the RCM3365 RabbitSys core module (included in Kit) provides embedded systems
designers the ability to update, monitor, configure, detect, diagnose, and
even debug embedded systems from remote locations.
RabbitSys increases reliability by providing extensive feedback during development
and debugging cycles. Features such as the program monitor, an event handler,
and safe system shutdown cradle your application and make it resistant to
external transient errors. RabbitSys safeguards access to embedded system
resources, like I/O and system memory, assuring software integrity.
RabbitSys' assurance of reliability extends beyond the confines of the development
environment. The remote capabilities of RabbitSys enable embedded programmers
to raise e-mail alerts when a software failure occurs. During such failures,
RabbitSys enables your application to take the necessary steps to return
attached equipment to its default state. RabbitSys removes the burden and
expense of sending
out a technician. Instead, a simple network connection and software update to
the malfunctioning device repairs the problem.
RabbitSys also can easily scale with the deployment of new devices, allowing
you to manage many devices concurrently.

| RabbitSys Components |
| System
Call Interface SysCall |
Your program accesses RabbitSys
through the system call interface. When a system call request
occurs, RabbitSys verifies the type of the system call, associated
parameters, and device handles before servicing the call. |
| Event-Driven
Kernel |
A powerful event handler drives
the RabbitSys kernel. Events such as Timed events, shutdown
events and alert events can be triggered depending on the error
that it encounters. RabbitSys predefines system events but
also gives you the ability to add your own user-defined events. |
| Remote
Program Update |
Provide yourself full access
to your Ethernet-connected Rabbit device from anywhere in the
world with the capability of uploading and updating programs
remotely. Whether you are adding features or maybe fixing a
bug in critical code. Updates can be done via system mode HTTP
server, FTP server or via the remote upload API. |
| Monitor |
RabbitSys maintains an audit
trail to support detection and diagnosis of system reliability
problems. The RabbitSys API for the Monitor provides the ability
to query program status, logs and handle run-time errors, and
responds to critical system errors. |
| Console |
The console provides a machine
friendly, command-line interface enabled during system boot
up that is active in RabbitSys at all times. The console connects
over serial or through TCP/IP using Telnet, HTTP, or FTP. The
console provides the interface through which you can configure
and view network settings, configure logins, access the monitor,
update your program, add watches, reset the program, or even
reset RabbitSys itself. |
| DHCP
Support for Network Configuration |
By default, RabbitSys enabled
devices are configured with DHCP for automatic network configuration.
RabbitSys allows you to detect RabbitSys enabled devices on
a local area network via UDP. You just need to connect your
RabbitSys enabled device in the network and the DHCP function
will discover the device, to immediately begin communicating
with it. |
| Hardware
Compatibilities |
The RCM3365 with RabbitSys features
a Rabbit 3000 @ 44 MHz clock, 10/100Base-T Ethernet connectivity,
512K Flash, 512K program execution SRAM, 512K data SRAM and
up to 50 digital I/O shared with up to 6 serial ports. This
combination will provide an ideal solution to suit your embedded
remote applications. |
