The Hadcon's real time module (RTM) has been developed to bring "hard " real time capabilities (such Announcements
as creation of timers, system thread, of management by resources – memory, ports, interrupts) to
Windows, excepting necessity of creating of the driver.

Precise execution of events is critical in a real-time system. RTM provides complete flexibility to the
developer to determine the appropriate timer resolution for their system. Timer interval values can be
set between 100 microsecond and 1 millisecond (100,200,500,1000). The timer interval is default inside
of [AddNewInst] section rtmdrv.inf file's HKR,,TimerQuantum,,500 .

RTM uses the "mixed" code i.e. timer's, interrupt's routines (working in Ring 0) and user routines
(working in Ring 3) are incorporated in one DLL module.
Real-time components (timer, system thread and interrupt routines) must be locked in memory to
avoid latencies due to page faults. Therefore RTM defines its own sections for location of a code, data
and stack using the data_seg , code_seg , and bss_seg pragmas.

Collapse | Copy Code

//
//
#pragma code_seg( "RTMCODE ")
Specifies a code section where functions are to be allocated.
For example:
#pragma code_seg( "RTMCODE ")
void timer1(unsigned dwmess )
{
/*
code
*/
..................
}
#pragma code_seg()
#pragma data_seg( "RTMDATA ")
Specifies a code section where initialized data are to be allocated.
For example:
#pragma data_seg( "RTMDATA ")
char buff[10] = {0};
int k1 = 0;
#pragma data_seg()
#pragma bss_seg( "RTMBSS ")
char buff[10];
int k1;
#pragma bss_seg()

Timers
RTM uses the system timer.The system timer generates system ticks at a fixed rate of one tick per
millisecond(or 100, 200 ,500 microsecond), which is the rate at which a timer interrupt is generated
and serviced by the operating system (interrupt service routine ISR).
RTmCreateTimer function lets you attach a handling routine to an timer interrupt, much the same
way that the RTM timer routines allow you to associate a handling routine with a given timer expiration.
RTM timers are not synchronization objects which means threads cannot wait for single objects with an
RTM timer handle.

This is in contrast to the Windows waitable timer, which is an object on which a thread can wait, or
against which a thread can receive notification.

out dx,ax ;//outp(BASE_LPT+CR,0x2e);
}
initLpt =1;

..................
}
#pragma code_seg()
void func()
{
int error;
HANDLE tm;
if(RtmInit(hRTMDLL,KERNEL_MODE) == -1) return 0;
RtmDebug(hRTMDLL ,TRUE);
tm = RtmCreateTimer
(hRTMDLL ,timer_anl,0x2000,stanl.quantum,KERNEL_MODE);
RtmStartTimer(hRTMDLL ,tm,0x3000);
error = RtmTimerPostMessage(hRTMDLL ,tm,0x100);
}

Using Threads
The RtmCreateThread function creates a system thread (See: PsCreateSystemThread in the
DDK for Windows XP/2000).
You can set the priority value for the specified thread using KeSetPriorityThread and
KeSetBasePriorityThread functions.
Inside of the body thread function, we can use majority DDK functions.
RTM thread defines own sections for location of a code.

}

Interrupts
RTM allows a process to directly interface with a device without having to write a Windows driver via
RtmConnectInterrupt or RtmHookInterrupt functions. A process can attach to an interrupt
handler using RtmConnectInterrupt function (See: HalGetInterruptVector in the DDK for
Windows XP/2000).
The RtmHookInterrupt function allows to hook an interrupt.
