That seems like it might be half-way to us creating a fully bootable image file containing both the IOC application code and the VxWorks OS, but I don't think that would be quite as easy as it might seem because getting initialization right (C++ static initializers for our code) could be tricky. Has anyone ever tried to do that?
I sent a a
message to tech-talk on this topic last month and got no
replies.
I have created a bootable image that contains both the VxWorks OS
and an EPICS IOC using Wind River's Workbench, but there have been
run-time problems that I have, to date, not yet diagnosed.
