Do you have the source code for your ISA or PCMCIA card, or want to develop your own software using our USB2 family of products? Well the sdkbus2 is for you. .
This sdkbus2 is the Software developers kit for ISA/ PCMCIA peripherals used together with our USB2 line of products.
Operating systems:
- Windows - 7 and later 64bit release
- Linux - 18.04 and later 64bit releases
- Mac OS X 10.7, and later
Interface: The SDKBUS supports our USB2.0 based products (USB2ISA / USB2PCMCIA)
Languages: C/C++
Level: application (user) level
Buses: ISA, PCMCIA, PC/104
Product Release: 2024.05
This ARS Technologies SDK allows for conversion of applications or some drivers of peripheral card(s) connected on our USB2 family of products.
The SKDBUS contains a document with the set of API functions for full access to the memory and I/O space, and handling of IRQ and DMA events of peripheral card.
The sdkbus also comes with a Porting Guide to assist with development. We’ve created the following working samples for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X with source code and binaries:
- Detecting if present, and issuing a RESET and setting the read/write access time of an ISA or PCMCIA card mounted on an USB2ISA or USB2PCMCIA card.
- Reading of video BIOS on an ISA VGA card, mounted on our USB2ISA family of products - demonstrating 8-bit reading of memory space.
- Reading/writing sectors of a hard disk, on an ISA I/O (2 serial, parallel, floppy, IDE) card, mounted on our USB2ISA family of products, which demonstrates 8/16 bit read/write of I/O space.
Additional samples for servicing IRQ channels, and DMA channels.
- Sectors reading/writing on a compact flash card, mounted on a PCMCIA to compact flash adapter in turn mounted on a USB2PCMCIA card, which demonstrates 8/16bit read/write of I/O or memory space.
You can download the SDKBUS after ordering.
