Software for the Intel x86 Processor

North Star's is experienced in the design of software for the Intel x86 family of processors including the 486 and Pentium processors.  We have developed boot code, drivers, and application code for the x86 processors using Borland's C/C++ software development tools.  Our experience includes:

• PC/104 format single board computers

• parallel, serial, analog and discrete data acquisition interfaces

• AT-bus

• boot code

• ROM-DOS

• RS-232 and RS-422 transceivers and serial protocols, packets, and parsing

• PID and other tailored servo control algorithms

• graphics overlay on real-time video

• user-programmable data

• in-circuit reprogrammable via serial port download from a PC

• C high-level language programming for the main application code

• complex state machines

• interrupt service routines

• multiple serial communications links

• multiple x86 processors operating in a complex system

• control of LEDs and panel indicators

• reading and processing switches and contacts

• control of relays
