- I'm hoping to draw from the experiences of users of VxWorks and was directed
- to this mailing list by an employee of Wind River Systems.
-
- We're looking into using either VxWorks or pSOS+ on a intel i960-based
- embedded system dedicated to communications processing. I have experience
- as an application builder on pSOS+ and have access to people who got pSOS+
- running on a custom hardware platform. Unfortunately,
- I don't know anyone with VxWorks experience. My questions are these:
-
- 1) How hard is it to get VxWorks running on a custom platform using the
- porting kit and how does it compare to pSOS+?
- 2) How robust is the kernel? (performance, bugs, etc.)
- 3) What are the limitations and quality of the communications software?
- 4) What are your experiences with the VxWorks source debugging environment?
-
-
- I'm sure these questions could lead to interesting and useful side discussions
- so you might want to answer by phone but email is fine too.
