Abstract

The function of the CTRON input-output control is to enable to port the operating system components, such as file management, using the access interfaces which conceal hardware architecture differences. However, performance and specification expandability should not be sacrificed to ensure this portability.

This paper discusses CTRON input-output control interfaces which were investigated based on these design issues. The results of this investigation are documented in “CTRON INPUT-OUTPUT CONTROL INTERFACE SPECIFICATION Version 1”.
