I'm surveying various OSs to determine their suitability for real time control of a telecommunications system, currently under development at the University of Western Australia. Specifically, I need to know about such things as the interaction beteween the priority structure and the tasking routines (multitasking OSs), locking of modules into (core) memory, interprocess communication facilities etc. I'm looking at such OSs as UNIX, OS-9, Concurrent DOS, iRMX86 and VRTX. I'm specially interested in UNIX/68000 - is it real time and if not, why not ( I can't find any documentation on this ), any add-ons which might make it real time (eg. VxWorks) , and so on. If anyone can supply me with details on any of these or similar microprocessor OSs, please contact me at the addresses give below.
