SoftApi

The SoftApi is an API that implements almost all of the OSE Delta functions on a host computer. The SoftApi is an OSE Delta kernel designed specifically for being run on a host machine.

OSE is an operating system designed specifically for being run in an embedded environment. OSE Systems provides users with the SoftKernel, which is a true OSE simulator that simulates all of the features of the real embedded OSE operating system. The users can test their code in a host environment and later deploy the code in the embedded target environment. The SoftKernel attempts to make the soft environment identical to the embedded target environment.

However, what if you want to run OSE code permanent on a host machine? This is a case where our SoftApi library can be used. The SoftApi makes it possible to run OSE application code on a host operating system such as Unix or Windows without the need for porting the OSE application code to the native Unix or Windows API.
