38 Enhanced OS-9 for X86 PCAT

Installing and Configuring Enhanced OS-9

Cross-Hosted Development Using Hawk

Hawk is a comprehensive software development and management

environment designed to increase the efficiency of development under

OS-9. Hawk’s highly integrated tool set simplifies and automates the

tasks of creating, debugging, analyzing and managing complex

real-time software development projects.

Hawk is much more than just an “edit-compile-debug” package. Its

expanded functionality addresses all phases of product development –

from initial code creation to software version control. This focus on the

entire product lifecycle means reduced time-to-market and easier

project management.

Microware Hawk is included with the OS-9 Board Level Solutions and

Embedded Systems packages. A fully functional, sixty day evaluation

version is included with the OS-9 evaluation CDs.

This example assumes that a disk based OS-9 system was prepared,

as discussed in the previous sections.

Starting Hawk on the Target

Hawk communication and debugging modules must be started on the

target, prior to using Hawk. The user state debugging modules may be

started from the OS-9 console by changing into the /h0/sys directory

on the hard disk and executing startndpd_spf.

$ chd /h0/sys

$ startndpd_spf

Running MAUI Graphics

The Hawk tutorial requires MAUI graphics. From the OS-9 console,

change into the /h0/sys directory and type

loadmaui

, if you have not

already done so.
