Installation
This book documents the procedures for installing, building, and booting C5. This document is aimed at system administrators and solution designers. It is the companion volume to the C5 2.1 System Administrator's Guide.
This book provides information on the major differences between ChorusOS 4.0 and C5 2.1, and on porting your existing software applications and drivers. This book is intended for solution designers, application developers, and system administrators.
Application Development
C5 2.1 Features and Architecture Overview
This book describes the features and architecture of the ChorusOS operating system. It serves as a general overview of the architecture of the C5 operating system, presenting its particularities and advantages, as well as introducing all its features and components. This book is intended for all users.
C5 2.1 Application Developer's Guide
This book demonstrates the key tasks developers perform when creating applications to run on C5 systems. It does not cover hardware support such as bus and device driver development, subsystem development, system internals, installation, general system architecture or system administration, though it does incorporate parts of some of these as necessary to illustrate specific aspects of C5 application development. This book is intended for application developers and describes how to build applications using the range of C5 APIs through code examples.
This book presents the source-level debugging architecture of the C5 operating system. It provides an overview of the GNU GDB debugger and of the Insight graphical user interface, and highlights the modifications to these tools that are specific to the C5 operating system. It discusses the use of these tools to debug C5 applications and systems. This book is intended for application developers.
System Administration
C5 2.1 System Administrator's Guide
This book provides a single source of information for an installed C5 system. It contains information on using C5 product, including configuring and tuning information, with instructions on the configuration of the system image. The setting up and sharing of file systems is also explained. This book provides full explanations of network commands and daemons, and advice on setting up a C5 system for Ethernet and PPP. This book is intended for system administrators of a C5 system.
This book describes how to install, configure, and build the source code delivery of the C5 product. It explains both the source architecture and the way the product is built from source code. It also deals with issues such as how to perform source development in such a way that the delivery can still be patched as fixes and improvements to the system become available. This book is intended for C5 specialists performing source development.
Target Platforms
C5 2.1 Board Support Package Developer's Guide
This book provides a single guide for developers that are porting the C5 system to a new hardware platform, or adding device support to the C5 system. It describes the Board Support Package (BSP) architecture and the device driver framework, as well as device driver hardening. This book is intended for developers that are involved in C5 hardware support.
