  Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of emulator which emulates Xcent-Net crossbar network router board called XNIF in SPAX system. This design is based on the specifications of XNIF board, and it mainly focuses on concurrent message handling, message passing interfaces between emulator and MISIX IPC, and message transmission mechanism. Based on this design, we implemented an emulator within MISIX microkernel operating systems. Besides, the correctness of emulator and MISIX IPC is verified on two Compaq Proliant 4000 systems connected via Ethernet. Finally, this emulator development enabled us to design and implement the MISIX IPC for Xcent-Net in test-bed system, in parallel with XNIF hardware development.
