2.3 MR100 Features
The MR100 offers the following features.
1. Real-time operating system conforming to the μITORN Specification.
The MR100 is designed in compliance with the μITRON Specification which incorporates a minimum of the
ITRON Specification functions so that such functions can be incorporated into a one-chip microcomputer. As the
μITRON Specification is a subset of the ITRON Specification, most of the knowledge obtained from published
ITRON textbooks and ITRON seminars can be used as is.
Further, the application programs developed using the real-time operating systems conforming to the ITRON
Specification can be transferred to the MR100 with comparative ease.
2. High-speed processing is achieved.
MR100 enables high-speed processing by taking full advantage of the microcomputer architecture.
3. Only necessary modules are automatically selected to constantly build up a system of the
minimum size.
MR100 is supplied in the object library format of the R32C/100 series.
Therefore, the Linkage Editor functions are activated so that only necessary modules are automatically selected
from numerous MR100 functional modules to generate a system.
Thanks to this feature, a system of the minimum size is automatically generated at all times.
4. With the C-compiler NC100, it is possible to develop application programs in C language.
Application programs of MR100 can be developed in C language by using the C compiler NC100. Furthermore,
the interface library necessary to call the MR100 functions from C language is included with the software pack-
age.
5. An upstream process tool named "Configurator" is provided to simplify development proce-
dures
A configurator is furnished so that various items including a ROM write form file can be created by giving simple
definitions.
Therefore, there is no particular need to care what libraries must be linked.
In addition, a GUI version of the configurator is available. It helps the user to create a configuration file without
the need to learn how to write it.
