Blackhawk Talon OS

On the surface you see a well-defined, documented and supported application programming interface (API) across all our supported platforms. But our performance is not compromised by porting from one architecture to another. Each kernel is optimized for each DSP platform to achieve the highest possible performance. POSIX® is an IEEE Standard for Information Technology - Portable Operating System Interface. This standard has provided a stable framework for both operating system designers and application programmers. While the touch and feel of the standard is UNIX-like, the POSIX interfaces are rigorously defined, therefore ensuring predictable behavior of compliant applications. There are many benefits to using standardized operating system interfaces. ·   Well-defined and standardized operating system services provide for design of reliable and robust application software. ·   Application compliance to POSIX ensures smooth software portability between hardware platforms. ·   Standard OS interfaces enhance programmers’ productivity by encouraging them to comply with proven and efficient programming practices.
