Go-HotSwap is a PICMG 2.1 R2.0 compliant, cross platform, Hot Swap software infrastructure.
Using the Go-HotSwap architecture reduces time-to-market, enabling developers to focus on core technologies instead of going through all the effort involved in developing in-house hot swap software.
Go-HotSwap supports Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, Linux 2.4.x-2.6.x, Solaris 8/9/10/OpenSolaris (v9.01), and VxWorks (v5.22)
The Go-HotSwap software infrastructure consists of a low-level operating system extension, the Hot Swap Engine, which is responsible for the following activities:
- Identifying the insertion/removal of CompactPCI boards.
- Notifying the system services and the relevant drivers of a hot swap event.
- Notifying the relevant applications of a hot swap event.
Go-HotSwap Benefits
- Multi Operating System Support
Go-HotSwap supports Linux, Solaris, Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 and VxWorks, providing maximum
flexibility; the user is not restricted to only one operating system.
By using Go-HotSwap, hardware vendors can have software support
for a multitude of operating systems, thus extending the market share
of their product and complying with more customer requirements.
- Driver Architecture
Go-HotSwap is not restricted to drivers that are hot swap
compliant, such as drivers that fully support the Microsoft
Windows 2000 Plug-and-Play subsystem additions, and does not require
the driver to be re-written in order to benefit from hot
swap capabilities. Jungo's solution enables legacy drivers,
as well as hot swap compliant drivers, to utilize the hot
swap mechanism. This architecture provides a comprehensive hot swap
support and enables quicker deployment of the hot swap solution.
Go-HotSwap enables hardware vendors, for example, to use a driver written
for a standard PCI device with CompactPCI hardware without
having to modify the driver.
- Driver Development Tools
A complete and robust hot swap solution should
include the necessary tools to build hot swap
device drivers from scratch. Jungo provides a
complete solution for customers, which not only
includes the additional software layers that are
needed to support hot swap, but also includes
WinDriver - a device driver development toolkit,
which dramatically simplifies and automates the
driver development process and includes DriverWizard,
a graphical wizard that guides the user through the
complicated task of creating a device driver.
- Cross Operating System Capability
The device drivers developed with the
Jungo's driver development tools are binary
compatible between all the supported operating systems - Windows 2000, XP and Server
2003, Solaris and Linux (earlier versions also supported VxWorks) - and are source code compatible between
all these operating systems.
- Hardware Compatibility
Go-HotSwap can be used to develop hot
swap aware drivers for any CompactPCI
device. Go-HotSwap supports any
CompactPCI silicon/board/platform,
thereby enabling you to use a
combination of any vendor components in the system.
- Flexible Driver Models
A complete hot swap solution should enable
developers to create either user-mode or
kernel-mode device drivers. Go-HotSwap supports both driver models.
This enables hot swap aware user-mode drivers to be developed where possible,
reducing the learning curve for the driver developer.
- Stability
A robust hot swap solution should be stable and field tested.
Go-HotSwap is based on Jungo hardware access technology that has been field tested on
thousands of platforms and hardware combinations.
- Technical Support
Jungo offers excellent technical support directly by Jungo's R&D team -
the same experts that wrote the software.
During the evaluation
period, Jungo provides 30 days of free technical support.
Upon purchase, additional two months of free technical support are provided.
Additional support programs can be purchased separately.
Detailed Specifications By Operating System
A Complete Solution
Go-HotSwap includes Jungo's
WinDriver driver development tool
as an integrated component. The driver development toolkit dramatically simplifies the very difficult task
of developing a device driver from scratch. It provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers,
which handle interrupts and I/O at optimal rates.
Industry Optimized
Go-HotSwap enables hardware vendors to approach new markets in the fields of telecom and datacom with hot swap capabilities to their devices. Operating system vendors can also use Go-HotSwap to easily add hot swap support for their operating systems, enabling them to enter the mission-critical telecommunication infrastructure and high speed data communication systems markets.
