I would second Ralph’s point.

If this is a new system, I would not choose VxWorks, nor VME.

 

Thanks,

Guobao

Hello Baeg,

Currently, the available cpu is mvme3100, and this cpu is compatible with version 6.9 of vxworks, so we want to select it.

 

Please be aware that - driven by a recent change in the licensing/pricing policies of the VxWorks vendor WindRiver - a couple of large US laboratories, long-term VxWorks users, decided to move away from VxWorks and base their VME systems on the RTEMS operating system.

If you start a new project now and base it on VxWorks, you may find yourself in a situation at a later time where there are not many other EPICS users on VxWorks left.

 

Depending on your project schedule and lifetime, your long-term maintenance strategies, and your estimated need for EPICS-on-VxWorks support from the community, this could become a problem in the future.

 

Cheers,
~Ralph
