Hi,

The released version of 3.15.8 is very unlikely to build successfully on VxWorks 7.x without at least some modifications to the build system configuration for that OS, and it will probably also need code changes. I have not heard of anyone in the community who has seriously tried this, and have no feeling for how much porting work would be required in the code either. The remaining VxWorks users in the community that I’ve talked to are more interested in moving to RTEMS, partly because VxWorks 7 doesn’t support the VME hardware that we’re using any more.

HTH,

- Andrew

Subject: Epics running on vxworks7

 

Hi,

is it possible to run Epics 3.15.8 on vxworks7?
I saw on the Epics website that it is not supported, but I was wondering
if anyone has experience about Epics on vxworks7.

Best regards
Bushra
