Updated Support Site for IYONIX pc and 32-bit Software

13th January 2003

Castle Technology have recently published additional material to enable developers and programmers to write software for the all-new 32-bit IYONIX pc. The latest technical documentation is now available at http://www.iyonix.com/32bit/ and includes:

Full details on converting ARM code to 32-bit
PCI Manager APIs to enable developers to use PCI cards
CDFS driver details
API changes to make APIs 32-bit compatible
Filecore changes to use 32-bit APIs and to support larger discs
UCS Fonts
Hardware Abstraction Layer
Keyboard labelling
Help system
New features in RISC OS 5

The site also provides CallASWI v0.03 which enables the new 32-bit APIs to be used on existing 26-bit machines. This allows developers to use the new API without needing to support the old API when their code is running on a 26-bit version of RISC OS.

Castle's latest version of the Acorn C/C++ Development Environment is available for "199 inc. VAT and is recommended for anybody who wishes to write 32-bit compatible software which may be used on the IYONIX pc as well as on older RISC OS computers.
