OS Changer
The OS
Changer family of products
gives users the freedom to
switch operating systems
while leveraging on their
existing embedded code and
knowledge base to protect
their software investment
and avoid costly porting
issues. OS Changer also
allows developers to write
code using a familiar
application programming
interface (API) and run the
application on a wide
variety of supported target
OS platforms. Solutions are
available for porting from
VxWorks, pSOS and Nucleus to
many different real time (RTOS)
and non-realtime operating
systems. Target operating
systems supported can be

How to use OS Changer
OS Changer is
designed for use as a C
library. Services used
inside your application
software are extracted from
the OS Abstractor libraries
and are combined with the
other application objects to
produce the complete image.
The following are the
porting steps:
-
Indicate
the target OS and other
configurations in the user
file provided by OS
Changer
-
Include the
OS Changer header files
instead of the VxWorks
header files in your
source code
-
Configure
the BSP code provided by
the target OS vendor to
make sure the OS will run
properly on your target
platform
-
Compile and
link your application with
the OS Changer libraries
and header files. Refer to
the standard demo
application for additional
information about the
project settings
-
Resolve all
compiler and linker
errors, if any
-
Port
low-level drivers to
target OS (or use a native
one if available)
-
Download
the application image to
the target system and let
it run
