2.1.10.2 The basic operating system functions
The operating system is comprised of the following components:
•
Task administrator for cyclic- and interrupt controlled processing
•
Hardware and software initialization
•
Memory administration (buffer administration)
•
Operating system data and lists
•
Interface to the central AMC lists
•
Coupling to the other components (system interfaces)
The operating system is capable of multi-processing and multi-tasking.
The basic operating system functions are embedded in the overall
system, whereby these represent the most important interfaces to the
environment.
