INFORMATION WANTED... I've just started a PhD reaseach into developing a real-time operating system for a Programmable Communications Controller (PCC). The PCC is based on a intel 386 processor, and is inserted into a PC-AT expansion port. Primarily, the PCC is used to control the I/O for around 40 PC-terminals, The host PC will run Concurrent Dos (Digital Research) or any of a number of Unix implementations. Depending on feedback from this posting and other investigations I may include some form of Object Oriented programming into the design. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any comments, suggestions, advice on any of the following subjects (or anything you think may be of help to me) please e-mail me. Any useful info that I receive which may be of interest to this newsgroup's readers will be passed on. Subjects; Real-time systems (R-T operting systems in particular) Memory management on the 386 Public Domain debuggers/hardware monitors for the 386 distributed operating systems Real-Time scheduling algorithms Use of Object Oriented programming etc Thanx in advance.. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| Robert Hartill || University Of Wales College Cardiff (UK) | | Department Of Computing Mathematics (COMMA) | | e-mail : rhl@uk.ac.cf.cm |+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

At my previous job we were involved with using C++ (ala GNU g++) with the VxWorks RTOS. The user's group has an archive of software from various members - a hefty bit of which was implementation of RTOS objects (semaphores, priority queues, etc). Sorry I don't have the e-mail connection for the user's group handy. In any case, you can reach Wind River Systems at support@wrs.com and maybe they can provide the info. If not, maybe somebody on this newsgroup can help out my memory? o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Anthony C. Garland, P.E.
