Abstract

The Software Components Group pSOS operating system kernel and pROBE debugger have been extended to support the Fermilab PAN-DA data acquisition system for a variety of Motorola 680xx-based VME and FASTBUS modules. These extensions include: a multitasking, reentrant implementation of Microtec C/Pascal; a serial port driver for terminal I/O and data transfer; a message reporting facility; and enhanced debugging tools. An overview of the system is given, and the run-time-library reentrancy and process context, the serial port driver, the SYS68K Message Reporter System subroutine package, and the enhanced debugging tools are discussed
