I would recommend trying to contact the WATT-32 library for such examples... and there is example code on the website, although I'm not sure it's c++. I wasn't clear. Code's the only thing I don't need. It's the build scripts (.bat files, make files, whatever) and examples of how to use the

I'm on the edge of buying hardware for my embedded project. I've been holding back because I'm nervous about actually assembling the software. Writing the software is no problem - I have my C++ inline assembler coded and pretty much ready to go. What I'm uncomfortable with is the actual process

I'm getting closer to having my application ready to stick on a TS5500. I'd like to compile it to use real mode, as that's probably simplest, and it ought to fit easily in 640k. So my main concern is to push other stuff into high memory, leaving low memory free for my code and data. Where can I

I'd originally posted, asking if FreeDOS is right for my application. Since I've joined the list, I've had one or two people suggest other operating systems, and a bunch of people bickering of the ownership of some wretched piece of software. No one has stepped up and suggested that FreeDOS is

I'm looking for an OS to run on an embedded system (a 586 based PC104) board. What I need is pretty simple: 1) Access to ethernet, TCP and UDP. (Waterloo should do it.) 2) The ability to hook interrupts. 3) I need to be able to handle serial ports via interrupts; potentially more than 4 ports

Hi, did you already try Linux, with your software running as root so that it can access all I/O ports directly? Or maybe RTLinux to get better realtime performance? My concerns with Linux: 1) It has to have some sort of processing in the background to handle ethernet and serial ports - and

I tried compiling my code with Watcom. I got extremely strange behaviour - the compiler planted stack checking calls, and the stack checks were *convinced* I needed vast amounts of stack space to proceed with even the first function call out of main(). (I make very little use of the
