VxWorks
Through our consultancy and support work for our customers in the field we have also gained experience with less common environments not normally supported by the open-source community. VxWorks is one of these environments.
The combination of cross-compiling with specialized compilers and downloading to and execution on embedded hardware makes this OS an unlikely candidate for generic support by the community. Due to these special circumstances and the costs involved VxWorks support for ACE/TAO has fallen behind compared to other more widely used operating environments.
Starting November 2004 Remedy IT has been working on the VxWorks port of ACE/TAO. This work is being sponsored by a group of our customers that understood the need for commercial sponsoring to get the VxWorks port running again.
Remedy IT offers to deliver VxWorks 6.7 support for 2009 for the price of EUR 14,000.00 excl. Dutch VAT per customer per target platform. Included in this offer are the following deliverables:
-
Setting up a working VxWorks 6.7 build of the latest ACE/TAO/CIAO release on Linux or Windows i386. For Solaris there is additional charge of EUR 1,500,00 excl. Dutch VAT;
-
Setting up automated tests is possible but require additional funding depending on the requested platform;
-
This effort is for the duration of one year.
Due to the fact the GCC compiler version used by VxWorks 5.5.x is deprecated by the DOC-group in the course of 2007 we cannot provide a fixed price support option for this anymore. On customer request however we still can and will offer support for this platform with pricing based on customer requirements.
