A wireless mesh network server is operable to receive a message to one or more mesh network nodes from a client external to the mesh network, the message comprising an alias identifying the one or more mesh network nodes. The server is further operable to identify the one or more receiving mesh network nodes by the received message alias via an alias table, and forward the received message to the one or more mesh network nodes identified by the alias.

Mesh network bridge routing

An embedded processor system includes an integrated development environment and an embedded processor operating system. The embedded processor operating system is operable to run on the embedded processor system, and a command queue is operable to receive commands from a debugging module external to the embedded processor system. A command queue processing module is operable to change settings in the embedded processor system in response to commands in the command queue.

Embedded device program debug control

Apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed to manage memory in an embedded system. The system registers video applications and video sources with a memory manager. The memory manager in turn provides memory to the video applications and video sources. The system has an input to receive an output from at least one video source. The memory manager receives a frame from the video source and transfers the frame to memory. Once the frame is in memory the video application may work with the frame. All of these operations are conducted with the memory manager actively managing and allocating the memory resources.

Video memory quality of service

A markup language file comprises software build options usable to determine at least one software build configuration setting. One or more software build options are specified in a markup language file to specify one or more software build configuration settings for use in compilation of software. The markup language is an XML file, is editable in an Integrated Development Environment such as via a Graphical User Interface, and includes settings specific to an embedded processor system configuration.

XML board support customization

A system comprising a communication (COM) port server that, together with a COM port client, establishes COM port redirection over a network and communicates data with a serial port, at least one embedded application which is configured to communicate data via a serial port, and at least one virtual serial port application communicatively coupled to the embedded application and the COM port server. The virtual serial port application translates data communicated between the COM port server and the embedded application as if the COM port server and the embedded application were connected by a serial communication link.

Embedded virtual serial port

A communications device comprising an embedded application-specific device driver for an application-specific display and an embedded remote access application that execute on a processor. The embedded application-specific device driver is configured to communicate data with a communication (COM) port via a serial port and to provide a video signal to the application-specific display. The embedded remote access application is configured to remotely access the application-specific display and to communicate display data via a network.

Systems and methods for remotely managing an application-specific display device

A computer system comprises a CPU, a main memory, and plurality of I/O Processors (IOPs), coupled to each other by a system I/O bus. The IOPs perform slave processing functions relating to I/O devices. A simulation protocol is defined for the IOPs, whereby the host CPU can command an IOP to execute a simulation script. The simulation script defines one or more I/O devices to be simulated, and specifies a simulated workload associated with the devices. The IOP executes the simulation script by sending simulated input streams to the host and receiving output destined for the simulated I/O devices from the host on the system I/O bus. An IOP may simulate multiple I/O devices, and may simulate I/O devices concurrently with servicing real I/O devices. In typical use, one or more applications programs will execute on the CPU concurrently with the execution of one or more simulation scripts in the IOPs attacked to the system I/O bus. The behavior of the system under such conditions can be used for capacity planning forecasts, for developing and debugging the application software, for reproducing and diagnosing intermittent error conditions, or for performing other tasks in which it is necessary to determine the characteristics of the system under hypothetical conditions.
