Product Description

OS-9/68000 was developed allowing industrial and embedded use to include excellent memory management and resource usage policies. The control coprocessor is very important and is mapped at "22 octal" because it is a critical component for the system in terms of communication and interaction with other system components. System reliability and accuracy in extending the controller functionalities in severe environments is maintained in this configuration.

OS-9/68000 makes use of a technique called memory management unit. The system also has about 4800 Kb of available free-memory pool and so adequate amount of resources can be allocated for system processes as well as user applications. A configurative system memory is normally set to 4864 Kb because it is a compromise between the performance and the stability of the system to perform various business operations. The system has also a control coprocessor OS heap of 128 Kbytes which also helps to address the issue of memory resources allocation effectiveness.

In regard to non-volatile memory management, the OS-9/68000 offers by default a non-volatile RAM disk of 64 Kbytes in size that can be increased to 512 Kbytes. This feature makes sure that pertinent information remains intact even if there is a power interruption. Furthermore, Non-volatile optional user memory, without a default set can be programmed to a maximum of 5 Kbytes with 4347 kbytes spare at present. This is a useful add-on for the custom user's data storage. The system also incorporates non-volatile module memory, which is configurable to satisfy the demanding needs for user memory.
