RTLinux Gurus,
A few questions regarding RTLinux:
1) Has anyone succeeded in getting RTLinux running on a VME based system? I
will be using one of the VMIC boards based on the Tundra Universe II PCI-VME
bridge chips. I can always glom code from the VMELinux guys, I was just
wondering if someone has already done the work.
2) I am curious as to the determinacy of the thread wakeup command. We will
be using a periodic task that is woken up by an interrupt. With VxWorks I
would have simply had the process to be woken block on a semaphore which
would be given by ISR for the interrupt. That way I prevent executing too
much code at ISR time (always a bad idea). Can I do the same thing with the
pthread wakeup stuff? It would seem that, for process synchronization at
least, the pthread suspend and wake stuff will replace the classical use of
semaphores. Is this right?
3) How do I get sprintf or rtl_printf to format a floating point number for
me? I'm getting tired of printing 1000 times my float as a long and adding
the decimal point in my head. Must be something simple (and stupid) that I
am doing wrong.
I anxiously await your replies.
Regards,
Steve
