PharLap offers a very nice PC/104 RTOS implementing a subset of the Win32 API. Aonix bundles this solution with an Ada compiler that runs on a PC. The Aonix Ada compiler can target either the PC or the PC/104 board, allowing simple unit testing of many packages on the PC, and the remaining testing on the PC/104 board. The PharLap operating system comes with a useful collection of capabilities including LAN networking (ftp, telnet, http, TCP/IP, etc.) There could be additional packages created for this solution to address devices not on the PC/104 hardware stack, such as RS232 ports, etc. On my previous job I successfully used this system to develop robotic control systems interfacing both with user interface devices and vehicle control interfaces. Robotic devices were all manufactured by our company and controlled through a Controller Area Network (CAN) interface. We also manufactured our own PC/104 CAN card which plugs into the PC/104 hardware stack.
