The QDK-x86 emulation allows you to develop and conveniently test large parts of embedded applications on any Windows-based PC. The legacy DOS platform allows programming with interrupts, directly manipulating CPU registers, and directly accessing I/O space. No other modern 32-bit development environment for the commodity x86-based PC hadware allows this much so easily. The ubiquitous PC running under DOS (or a DOS console within any variant of Windows) is as close as it gets to emulate an embedded platform on commodity x86 machines. The QDK-x86 code can be compiled and tested with the legacy Turbo C++ 1.01 compiler, available for a free download from the Borland Museum. |
| NOTE: Each QDK contains only the the software dependent on the particular processor, operating system, or the compiler, but does NOT contain the portable QP baseline code. In other words, you need to install the QP baseline code, before you install any port. |
