T-Engine

The T-Engine is a project to develop a standardised, open, real time computing system and development environment. The aim of this project is to make it easier and cheaper to create embedded computers in everyday objects, a paradigm described as the "ubiquitous computing", which can easily connect to networks. The T-Engine Forum has been developing this system, and it has been heavily based on previous work by the related TRON Project.

Architecture

The T-Engine has standardised hardware (T-Engine board) as well as real-time operating system (T-Kernel). Unlike TRON the hardware has also become standardised for: "service call specifications for the OS, various hardware and software interfaces, and object format specifications" ^[1]. However it must be noted that the microprocessor architecture for the T-Engine has not been fixed. The development environment has also become standardised around the GNU development environment.

Hardware

There are four different types of T-Engine hardware:

• standard T-Engine
• micro T-Engine
• nano T-Engine
• pico T-Engine

one of more type its a it product used as a mutiple user .work as a data transfering device

Software

• μT-Kernel

T-Kernel

The T-Kernel has been described as an ITRON-specification OS ^[2].
