Development Environment

The ChorusOS 4.0 product provides a host-target development environment. Applications are developed on a workstation (the host), and then downloaded and executed on a specific board (the target).

A cross development system is needed to build the applications that execute on the target board (see Section "Utilities").

SPARC^TM/Solaris^TM Reference Host Environments

Prerequisites for the Solaris host reference configuration are the following:

• Sun SPARCstation^TM

• Solaris 2.6, or Solaris 7

• JDK^TM 1.1.3 to 1.1.8, for the installation tool

• JDK 1.2, for the graphical configuration tool

PC/Windows NT Reference Host Environment

The Windows NT host reference configuration is as follows:

• PC Windows NT 4.0 workstation or server, with Service Pack 5.

• Solstice Network Client^TM SNC 3.1 is required as an NFS server for ChorusOS 4.0. Only NT FAT file system partitions are validated.

• A Solaris system providing TFTP and RARP daemons in order to allow booting of the ChorusOS 4.0 product.

• JDK 1.2, for the graphical configuration tool.

The serial line used for debugging with XRAY can only be used at 9600 bauds.
