well ok, but I'm not sure to understand all of it : "I am 50% convinced today that I will build my platform on Linux RT"
what are the other 50% stands for ? what will change it for a complete decision, what are the requirements above price ? For the "freeing" part I'd say that QNX did it differently than the other (MS, Ti, and even Arm ) with their licensing policy. Anyway, this doesn't helped so much indeed: hence my particular focus on Xenomai for BBB instead. 2014-03-14 11:26 GMT+01:00 Thorsten Gonschior < [email protected]>: > quote: "Seems not so obvious.
