Choice
of Tools and Languages
In
the true spirit of open systems, SIXNET has taken great care to
maintain the open and accessible nature of this LINUX-based
environment. You may add your own LINUX applications to the
IPm controller using any of the programming languages supported
by the GNU development tools, including C, C++, Fortran and other
languages.
As
part of the “IPm
Advanced” licensing option, SIXNET supplies a Windows
IPm Application Development Kit (IADK) for installing the
PowerPC cross-compiler compiler
and the other files you need on your Windows computer. The
SIXNET I/O Tool Kit
will load your applications into the target IPm controller as
well as manage the script that will start your programs in the
proper sequence and in your intended manner.
Of
course, LINUX users may accomplish the same functions using a
standard LINUX development environment as well. SIXNET supplies
a Linux IPm Advanced Development Kit
for IPm cross-compiling as part of the same “IPm
Advanced" licensing
option. It is important to note that both the Windows and
LINUX development environments supplied by SIXNET will produce
identical code.
IPm
is a Truly Open System!
