Hi Tyler:
The VxWorks version of TIPC is designed to work with the network/socket
code used in VxWorks 6.x. I believe that the only version of TIPC that
runs on VxWorks 5.x is a very early version (TIPC 1.0.0, if I recall
correctly) that is included with some of the MSP versions of VxWorks
5.5. These MSP versions of VxWorks use the same network/socket code as
VxWorks 6.0; the general purpose version of VxWorks 5.5 uses earlier
network/socket code, which may explain the issues you are seeing with
VxWorks 5.5.1.
Over the last few years a few people have inquired about the work
involved in porting TIPC to specific VxWorks 5.x releases, but I don't
know of anyone who has actually done so. The effort required is likely
to be significant (i.e. more than just a few days, and could be much
longer).
This seems to leave you with a number of options:
1) Upgrade to VxWorks 6.x, which would allow you to use the best and
most up to date version of TIPC.
2) Upgrade to VxWorks 5.5.1 MSP, which would allow you to use TIPC 1.0
(probably upgradeable to TIPC 1.0.2).
3) Try to port TIPC yourself. (I'm not sure whether you'd be better off
trying to port TIPC 1.7.5 than TIPC 1.0.2).
4) Pay someone to do the port for you. (Wind River has a Professional
Services division that undertakes work of this nature; there may be
other qualified firms too.)
Conflict of interest alert: I am an employee of Wind River (although not
for its Professional Services division).
Regards,
Al
