Is there anyone using FreeBSD on a VMEbus PC?
I have an application which should use VxWorks like the rest of the
project, but since this part has been subcontracted, Wind River wants
A$35,000 for an <expletive deleted> OEM licence for the right to link to
their libraries. Blood suckers. They only charge A$5990 for the tools!
I am being pressured to write a kernel driver for NT to run on the same
machine that is doing some pretty heavy FFT calculations using LabView.
I want to put a box in between, and if I can't have a realtime operating
system, then I need something that I can embedded, like FreeBSD.
The question is: out of all the VMEbus PCs available, which one is the
best choice based on drivers working out-of-the box? Ethernet is
particularly important.
For those who are interested, here is a link to the main project:
<http://www.rlmsystems.com.au/projects.htm> (JORN).
Please save me from a fate worse than death. I got this contact on the
basis that it _wasn't_ a Microsoft development, so either I need to jump
off the nearest tall building, walk away, or find an alternative...
