- As the subject states I'm looking for some feedback on realtime OSes.
-
- I've been looking around on the market and found quite a bit of
- realtime OS; as usual all the literature is biased and the main
- difference between the objects is price. As you can imagine I cannot
- afford to try them out all due to time and monetary constraints.
-
- I have focused on the following OS:
-
- OS/9, LynxOS, pSOS, VxWorks
-
- and a bit less on VRTX. My preference will go to all those OSes
- that have a Un*x like programming interface so that applications
- can be developed on our Suns without having to learn a new API.
-
- The hardware platform is unknown and can be a 486 PC using LynxOS
- or a 68xxx VME; I personally prefer this last choice for reliability
- and expandibility but it could be overridden by it's cost.
-
- The whole `thing' will be used to process around 20 analog channels
- that carry info from pressure sensor and thermocouples; the maximum
- sample rate should be less than 10KHz.
-
- If you have used any of the mentioned Oses or know of others I missed
- and are willing to share your knowledge please do.
-
- I'll post a summary of my findings.
-
- Just a last note, since I have a terribly unreliable news feed please
- CC: your answers to eb@icnucevx.cnuce.cnr.it.
-
- Thank you
