Software for remote management of Rabbit-based systems

16 November 2005 Design Automation

RabbitSys is a new operating system from Rabbit Semiconductor that delivers program reliability for Internet-enabled, embedded applications. System reliability often overshadows the goals of any embedded project. Using RabbitSys, the company says that embedded systems designers now have the ability to update, monitor, configure, detect, diagnose, and even debug embedded systems at remote locations. It also scales with the deployment of new devices, allowing designers to manage many devices concurrently.

By providing extensive feedback during development and debugging cycles, RabbitSys can help increase reliability. Safeguarding access to embedded system resources, like I/O and system memory, it assures software integrity. According to the company, those who already work with Dynamic C will find RabbitSys easily adaptable to their current Rabbit-based systems. Existing Dynamic C applications can be compiled under RabbitSys with little or no code changes to benefit fully from features that increase protection, reliability, and convenience.

Features such as the program monitor, the event handler, and safe system shutdown cradle the application and make it resistant to external transient errors. The remote capabilities of RabbitSys further enable embedded programmers to raise e-mail alerts when a software failure occurs. During such failures, RabbitSys takes the necessary steps to return attached equipment to its default state. This removes the burden and expense of sending out a technician, says the company. Instead, a simple network connection and software update to the malfunctioning device can repair the problem.
