Kontron D0801 Platform BSP for Wind River VxWorks

  • Off-the-shelf BSP for Wind River VxWorks
  • Fully integrated into the Wind River Workbench
  • Supports platform board specific devices
  • Supports Kontron AM4140

The Kontron BSPs for Wind River platforms are designed to get customers started immediately with application development instead of first getting involved with BSP integration or hardware bring-up issues. Support of board specific devices and interfaces has been added to the BSP to achieve the full benefit of the functions provided by the hardware.

Kontron D0801 VxWorks BSP

The BSP is prepared to use the Wind River system diagnostic and debugging tools which are integral elements of the Wind River Workbench.

The BSP includes an evaluation mode version of the Datalight FlashFX® Pro middleware, which acts basically as a software based NAND Flash manager. Datalight FlashFX Pro makes NAND Flash memory appear as a standard high-performance disk drive to the operating system.

Applications can use standard disk drive access methods to read and write NAND Flash memory, with no modifications as Datalight FlashFX Pro provides a generic block device driver interface that can be used by Wind River / VxWorks file systems, like DOSFS or HRFS. Datalight FlashFX Pro does not provide a file system of its own. Please contact Wind River for a full license for Datalight FlashFX Pro.
