Hi , I want to build a board (BSP) . I have with me a TI processor . and want to use some RTOS (like pSOS/VxWorks ). I don;t know whether this is possible but want your Inputs. If suppose I have the RTOSes I have mentioned do their kernel run on TI processor chips. Getting up a Host/Target ENV will be my next job. TIA, Simone81

I am evaluating embeddable operating systems for a client who will be using one in a new commercial product in the industrial control market, sales of which are expected to be many thousands per year. The product will be truly embedded having no display capability, but will contain both an ethernet port, and a USB port, to allow for customer configuration etc. Although the product has ...

Greetings, I am wondering are there RTOSes that document interrupt and task switching latencies on supported platforms and provide with tools to validate that. I read some advertising hype from OS vendors on how small their latencies are, but there were no numbers. There were also several independent studies that got to numbers, which OS salesmen probably prayed would have never been publi...

Hi all, we are on the point of taking the decision of buying Nucleus PLUS to be used in a new device (quite similar to a mobile phone and using OMAP5910). The only point against it is we don't know too many examples of Nucleus working in 'popular' devices/products and, since we have no experience in RTOS at all, our bosses doesn't trust Nucleus means against others like OSE, Integrity. Do...

Hi, In my latest RTOS, I have timers on every service (i.e., every service invocation can return ERROR_TIMEOUT in addition to SUCCESS or FAILURE). But, the common approaches to providing timers (not just timeOUTs) don't "feel right" when applied consistently like this. I'm wondering if there is something I can exploit to "cut a corner" in my implementation... E.g., allocating a "pool"...

Greetings, I am examining a case for a new RT/embedded OS in today's situation. I would like to get a simple YES/NO answer from embedded developers. Suppose that you are starting a new project. You are considering to use embedded Linux and you offered an RT/embedded OS by a vendor John Doe Inc. The RTOS is proposed in complete source code, uses GNU toolchain to build and development lice...

I have been given the task of trying to survey customers of "Green Hill Software's Integrity" and "Wind River's VxWorks" for Carnegie Mellon University. I would really appreciate being able to talk to any of you who have experience with one or both of these products. If you don't have any experience with these products, but do have experience with finding customers for this kind of surveys ...

Hi, Please guide me to the right group(s) if the post isn't on topic here. My program is running on a ARM7 h/w on top of an RTOS. I want to dump the names of the functions that were called in the sequence they were called (stack) onto a file as part of the assert routine. Something like a core dump in *nix. How to implement something like this? Where do I need to look? Regards Sukrit...

Greetings, When a program is too big to fit on a microcontoller internal memroy, external memory has to be used. Thats when a bootloader is needed. Does a bootloader go hand in hand with an RTOS or is it sometimes used to without one? Also, what kind of memory is typically used in this setting, and how is it updated? Thank you for your input. -- a

Hi All, I'm putting together an Industrial PC-based system consisting of a standard ATX PC motherboard and processor. However, because of the nature of the application that I'm looking at I will need to put more processing into the box. The questions is, what's the best way to do this?. Ideally, I want the additional processor run a non-RTOS like XP, but I also need a good Bandwidth li...

Okay, I've got the classic dilemna here. As of Friday, we have to build something quickly that works well and costs little. I have to put together a software solution for a small quantity (300) product using a Coldfire 5282. It will sit between an IP network and a legacy serial interface, converting from one to the other. I have a couple of interrupt drivers to write that have ...

Hi All, I have written a CAN driver for star12 controller. And I do have some periodic frames for transmission. I am using not any commercial RTOS but I do have created my own scheduler for the scheduling different tasks. I am using a debugger for software download & debugging and I am also using vector CANalyzer for monitoring the CAN frames on the bus. Now the problem which I am facing i...

I know there are workshops and such that require a person to be there physically to attend the class. But are there any places where one can take lectures on the web about RTOS, DSP, FPGA.. and other such stuff? Self-study type of courses or courses on the web with instructors on the other end. I'd like to broaden my knowledge base of embedded systems but not sure how to do it or even wh...

What develoment kits would you would consider for senior undergrad and graduate level embedded systems course? It needs to be versatile and support several peripherals at reasonable cost. It will also be used in senior projects and MS projects. What C compiler you would recommend? What RTOS ports exist for this platform? How popular is this system? Any links? Thanks a lot Nick13 ...

I am trying hard to avoid embedded stuff these days, but potential contract has come my way recently that needs some embeeded stuff. So whilst I am nutting out requirements I also need to put thought to software. I have made the descision that the software must be based on an OS and must have a c++ compiler. RTOS is not required. So the debate in my brain has been fired off. My first thoug...

Sorrry for the delayed reply.. Using the 3M part. Will have at least 512M. In the interim I happened across this post on Keil's website. http://www.keil.com/forum/13316/ It basically says that because Actel has not implemented 'OS extensions' that no OS will run on this core. I also found that Actel has ported a v3, which does support OS extensions, to their SmartFusion line. --which ...
