Date: 1998/07/16 Message-ID: <35AD5A37.E4E@atlas.otago.ac.nz>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 371871722 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of Otago Mime-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: ok@atlas.otago.ac.nz Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1998-07-16T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: There is a robot being built here. It has an onboard Pentium Pro 200 with 64Mb of memory. Now comes the question: what operating system and programming language should be used to control this thing? A student has done a review of operating systems. His short list includes QNX and Real-Time Linux. He had never heard of RTEMS. How good is the Pentium version of RTEMS? How hard would it be for people to install who have never touched it before? How hard is it to use? How do you compile for RTEMS? Which languages can be used with it? The student claimed that there is no Ada system available for QNX. Is that true? Are there good QNX Ada systems available for modest cost?
