[comp.sys.misc] VxWorks

Richard Neitzel (09/13/88)

Here at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), we have recently
purchased VxWorks, an integrated realtime deelopment system. The kernel is
VRTX32 from Ready, but VxWorks is from Wind River Systems. Our problem is that
Ready has terminated their VAR agreement with Wind River. This means that we
can:
	1> Do nothing.
	2> Switch from VxWorks to an all VRTX/Ready solution.
	3> Move to Wind River's new native kernal.

So we are asking anyone who might have been or is now in the same situation to
share any comments or advise. Have anyone used the new kernel? Will Wind River
offer any assistance in moving from the VRTX kernel to the new kernel, either
in terms of software or $$$? How satisfied are users of both VxWorks and Ready's
new Sun based development tools?
