This article describes concepts and mechanisms used in porting of EPICS (Experimental Physical and Industrial Control System) codes to platform of operating system UNIX. Without destruction of EPICS architecture, new features of EPICS…
In recent years, the open source operating system OpenWrt has become a popular option for replacing proprietary firmware on networking devices such as home routers or access points. In order to configure an OpenWrt system, like setting up…
A 70 GeV Proton Synchrotron Extracted Beam Lines Control System is described. About 130 Magnet Dipoles and Quadrupoles, 20 Correction Magnets, 50 Beam Collimators, BPM equipment spread over 1 Km have to be controlled. The old System was…
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a standardised interface between the firmware and the operating system used in all x86-based platforms over the past ten years. A side effect of the transition from conventional BIOS…
We integrated an injector linac control system to the SPring-8 standard system on September 2000. As a result of this integration, the SPring-8 accelerator complex was controlled by one unified system. Because the linac was continuously…
Modern UAV architectures increasingly aim to unify high-level autonomy and low-level flight control on a single General-Purpose Operating System (GPOS). However, complex multi-core System-on-Chips (SoCs) introduce significant timing…
Modern software systems, like GNU/Linux distributions or Eclipse-based development environment, are often deployed by selecting components out of large component repositories. Maintaining such software systems by performing component…
Android mobile operating system which is based on Linux Kernel 2.6, has open source license and adaptability to user driven applications. As all other operating systems it has all the basic features like process scheduling, memory…
This paper reports the PC implementation of a real-time simulator for testing protective relays, based on the widely used EMTP-ATP software. The proposed simulator was implemented using the GNU/Linux OS with a real-time kernel. In order to…
As robotics systems become more distributed, the communications between different robot modules play a key role for the reliability of the overall robot control. In this paper, we present a study of the Linux communication stack meant for…
The SNS Project intends to integrate Conventional Facility Controls with its EPICS-based Accelerator and Target Control Systems. EPICS will therefore be used to provide distributed high-level access to all subsystems of the SNS conventional…
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at LBNL is upgrading several LLRF systems for its Linac and Sub-Harmonic Bunchers, where it is desired to have a unified LLRF system design to support various RF frequencies (at 125MHz, 500MHz and 3GHz) and…
