What’s new in NET+Works 6.2

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 driversRTCPWM

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

Improved FTP Interoperability
