With MapuSoft You Can…

• Develop applications for multiple operating systems

• Develop applications without the familiarity of the target platform

• Adapt your solution to your clients’ chosen operating system

• Port embedded applications quickly and easily

• Keep your clients’ code intact to sustain familiarity

Use OS Changer to Port your Customers’ Code

• Your customers’ software investment is protected by re-using their legacy code.

• You can use familiar APIs to develop new applications to eliminate the learning curve on the OS required by your clients.

• Complete porting projects quickly and easily without rewriting your client’s application.

Use OS Abstractor in Your Development

• Ability to develop software to run on multiple operating systems will

  • Expand your market opportunities

  • Allow your customer to use your solution on multiple operating systems

• Using a standardized OS interface architecture will

  • Allow you to develop proof-of-concept demo software quickly and easily across various RTOS/Peripherals

  • Reduce the learning curve associated with adopting a new OS by using intuitive, flexible and standard APIs across multiple operating systems

Use OS PAL to Port, Abstract, and Optimize Code

• OS PAL simulates various OS interfaces such as VxWorks®, pSOS®, POSIX, and Nucleus® on host development environments so you can develop embedded code with preferred OS APIs and without the target hardware.

• OS PAL’s code generator uses OS Changer and OS Abstractor to generate application code for many different operating systems and OS versions.

• VxWorks, POSIX, Nucleus and pSOS API interfaces are available for porting legacy applications on host platforms to multiple target platforms.

• BASE and POSIX OS Abstractor APIs are available to provide a standard real-time OS interface architecture for developing new and highly portable applications.

• OS PAL reads application source code to determine the services used by the application and produces OS specific interface code optimized for the specific application and for each target OS platform.

• OS PAL generates project files for multiple target IDEs.

WinDriver - Cross OS Driver Development

• Shortens the driver development cycle and total project time

• Ability to develop high performance drivers for multiple operating systems

  • Supports development for USB/PCI/PCI Express devices

  • The same driver runs on 2000/XP/XP Embedded/Server 2003, Vista, Windows CE.NET/Mobile, Linux, Solaris, and VxWorks
