Very new to the concept of porting code across RTOS'es. Now i need to port the tcp/ip code from one RTOS to another. Need suggestions as to how can i start with this??

Seriously, did you expect a useful answer from such a vague question? If yes, then give up and hire somebody with a clue. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Then you should thoroughly understand the synchronization and communication primitives of the target OS. Understanding how TCP works will help a lot. After this it is time to start studying the TCP/IP stack code and think about how the primitives used in the original OS can be replaced with primitives available in the target OS. Paul

Normal changes can be : 1) The IPC - It can be syntax difference, operation difference , header file difference, return type difference and others. 2) Prioritising. 3) Interrupt handling 4) Scheduling 5) Synchronisation 6) Compiler dependent changes will also be present. Calling convention differences. It would help the people in the group to help you if you can tell about your development environment details. Karthik Balaguru
