embedded x86

This page is dedicated to x86 compatible family of CPU's.

For bigger embedded projects, the x86 compatible family :

intel 8088
intel 8086
NEC V20
NEC V25
NEC V35

has the advantage of being able to run code generated with DOS PC compilers and tools :

Borland Pascal 7.0
Turbo Pascal 7.0
RTKernel

there are tools to convert the DOS code into embedded code. Mine is not available anymore.
Together with a serially linked target debugger, one can use the comfortable Turbodebugger
to debug the code in real time or singlestep.
A not so recent project on a V25 involved 10..15 threads in an embedded communication
application. It required 128k RAM and 128k FlashEPROM.

Newer Approaches

Embedded x86 machines are available from manufacturers close to here with the advantage
of quicker support and higher probability of custom versions.

Beck Multitasking 20MHz 186 Webserver with DOS
Taskit 25MHz 386 in a Compactflash case with DOS
Digital Logic 386, 486, Pentiums
