1.2 Software Support
The XVR16 provides 4th Generation Intel Core i7 processor with four cores with a
shared memory and I/O resource pool. Customer system applications call for
software platforms that support Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) operation as
well as near real time support of independent application threads.
Generally, these different software needs require the support of multiple
operating systems, and also require software driver and Board Support Packages
(BSPs) to support the low level hardware functions.
1.2.1 Device Driver Support
The XVR16 is shipped with a CD containing standard Windows Device Drivers
for Chipset, Video, and Networking. These drivers have been tested with the
product, and are made available for general customer use. See the
ʺ
Readme.TXT
ʺ
file on the CD for details and general installation instructions. Standard Drivers
for Linux should be available from the release OS vendor. Drivers for other
specific XVR16 functions are available by purchasing the applicable OS Software
Support Package from Abaco.
1.2.2 BIOS Infrastructure Support
XVR16 uses AMI UEFI that includes BIOS firmware which provides all functions
required by the processor core and chipset. This package also includes the
onboard hardware initialization code that is executed following release from
reset.
The BIOS also provides ROM code that supports remote booting from any of the
Ethernet ports.
1.2.3 Target Operating Systems
The XVR16 hardware supports Windows, Linux, and VxWorks operating
systems.
