Generally I have not been the one making the original decision... just dealing with the consequences! :-( It should be remembered once you pick an RTOS for a product, you are pretty much locked in for the life of the product. There is nothing worse than working on a RTOS, where you don't have source, where the vendor decides to stop supporting a particular processor! Since moving to rtems, on the rare occasions where I have had a problem I have ALWAYS been pleasantly surprised by the level of support the developer community provides! Generally I would say whatever you do, commercial or open source make sure you get an RTOS with source code, that way you ALWAYS have the option of fixing problems yourself. Regards Paul

However, is there any customer adopting it? and is it cheap? 42Bastian Schick wrote: > On 26 Feb 2006 13:01:55 -0800, "Rick North" > <dontreplytothisaddy(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > > >Great replies, Thank you all for sharing. > > > >I like the Pete Fenelon msg about true hard RTOS and looked around more > >and found one in Sweden.

I add one more: Worse if you have no source at all. Only thing our customers struggle a bit: Our kernel is written in assembler. It is sometimes the first time they need to see assembler sources :-) -- 42Bastian Do not email to bastian42(a)yahoo.com, it's a spam-only account :-) Use <same-name>@monlynx.de instead !
