RapidControl v. 2.4
is compatible with the Apache Web server or any third-party Web server that supports the common gateway interface (CGI) or FastCGI protocol mechanism. The RapidControl family includes RapidControl for Web and RapidControl for Applets, which provide Web- and Java-based management, and MIBway. MIBway bridges the gap between Web- and Java-based device management and the SNMP agent. Other new features include extensive example code annd a step-by-step tutorial to get MIBway running.
RapidControl v. 2.4 is platform-independent and provides integration with all major RTOSes and SNMP stacks.

Multimedia processor
The
TM-1300
is the latest member of the TriMedia processor family. The media processor handles up to 6.5 billion
operations per second. It provides system-on-a-chip functionality for a variety of digital applications. Like other TriMedia processors, the TM-1300 is powered by an advanced very long instruction word programmable CPU, capable of processing up to five instructions per clock cycle and supporting an RTOS. The TM-1300 is available in 143MHz and 166MHz versions. Both are sampling now and will be in full production in the fourth quarter of 1999. Pricing for the 143MHz version starts at $35 in large quantities.

Wireless PDA reference design
WebPDA
is a freely distributed reference design package for wireless PDAs that was developed in conjunction with Mitsubishi Electric, Sun Microsystems, and Espial Group.
The wireless PDA platform enables OEMs to implement and bring to market wireless PDA and other Internet-enabled Java-based intelligent devices optimized for and extendable to mobile applications such as cell phones, video and Web phones, smart remote controllers, and hand-held industrial/inventory terminals. The WebPDA employs Sun’s PJava, along with ISI’s pSOS+ real-time operating sistem, which is optimized for Internet appliances. The reference design is based on Mitsubishi’s virtual
remote personal computer hardware design and embedded M32R microprocessor, and incorporates Espial’s Devicetop, the consumer-oriented Java applications and services environment. WebPDA will be available in October.

Modular card for CE
The
SuperH CardEngine
is a modular computer card designed for the development of Windows CE-based systems. It’s targeted for network access devices, terminals, control panels, factory automation, instrumentation, and other embedded systems. It’s an off-the-shelf hardware subsystem that integrates several system-level components on a single plug-in card. Components include an 80MHz SH-3 SuperH 32-bit RISC microprocessor; 8MB of flash memory and 16MB of
SDRAM; network-ready 10BaseT Ethernet controller; IrDA v. 1.0 support at 115.2Kbps; two SCI RS-232C channels (one reserved for debug use); two PCMCIA channels, with each channel supporting both memory and I/O cards; graphics support, including 16 gray STN, 4K color STN, or 64K TFT at 800 x 600 SVGA resolution; eight-bit sound support; and an integrated touch panel and keyboard controller. A development platform, debug board, and system schematics are also included. The SuperH CardEngine is available now for
$275 each in 1,000-unit quantities.
