Major NET+OS 6.2 features • New Development Tools • Support for the NS9360 • Security Features • Discovery Tools • USB memory class driver • FAT32 File system support • Major BSP and TCP/IP Performance Improvements
Development Tool Chains • GHS 4.0.5 Tool Chain • Microcross GNU 3.4.0 • Smaller Footprint Images • Improved Optimization for speed • Tool upgrade is necessary • GNU support for DSP Instructions • Overall Tighter and improved performance
Support for 9360 • Support for the 9360 Development Board • New 9360 specific drivers • RTC • PWM
New Security Features • SNMPv3 • Secure / Remote Management • SNMPv3 Security uses shared secrets and includes: • message authentication • privacy • authorization and access control • ESMTP • Used by most ISPs to confirm senders access rights and prevents SPAM • Mobile users who switch hosts can use same mail server • Example: laptop + wireless hotspot -> mail servers would reject messages • User Access Control includes authentication methods: • Login / Plain / CRAM-MD5 / MD5
New Security Features – cont. • DES/3-DES/AES Encryption API • Provides pseudorandom function with a shared secret key • LDAPv • Uses the OpenLDAP project (as is). • LDAPv3 provides • Access to directories for management and browser applications • Secure authentication mechanism
ADDP Discovery Tool • Discovers ADDP Devices on a broad network • Windows Client SW available • Allows end users to easily deploy new units and configure their network settings • Makes Device Networking Easy for customers
USB Memory Class Driver/FAT32 File system support • USB Host Memory Class Driver support (ARM9) • Interfaces directly to FAT32 File system • Can use a Flash stick to copy files to target • Easy to use for Configuration parameters • Extract run time data
BSP Performance Improvements • Improved ARM9 (9750, 9360) Interrupt latency • Reduced critical time in ARM9 platforms • Max ~ 5usec max • Improved ARM9 MMU usage model • Write-back cache v. write-through • Big contributor to performance boost • Improved memcpy() • Improved and Easy-to-use Device Drivers: • New SPI Master API • Supports high speed DMA across all platforms • New SPI Slave API • New I2C Master API
TCP/IP Performance Improvements • Address Conflict Detection API • Per Internet Draft “IPv4 Address Conflict Detection” • Increased TCP/IP Tuning • Options for Low Latency / High Performance • Pre-allocated Static Memory Allocation • Run-Time Programmable MSL • Will reduce memory needs for network heap • Improved Performance • 15-50% improvements on GHS. Even more on GNU.
Web Server Run Time Features • New Features to allow run-time control of web server parameters • Port number • Persistance timeout • Session timeout • Number of Connections • Ability to RST connections instead of close • Reduces memory usage • Corrected the ability to serve large web objects
