Isn't there some sort of framework (RTEMS) available for GNAT/PC? I seem to
remember that it included support for networking with some sort of 3Com network
card.
As someone on the lunatic fringe I would not be too put off if all that was
needed for my platform was to re-implement a driver for a network card. From
this you can safely determine that I know preciously little about RTEMS.
Linux might be an alternative to wxworks if your demands for real time are not
excessive. There is said to be a RT version of Linux, but its quality is
unknown to me.
OS/2 has some real time facilities which may be useful. There is an OS/2
version of GNAT available and I'm sure that Robert Dewar would be delighted if
more customers signed up for that port. The main problem with OS/2 real time
may be disk I/O. A book about OS/2 stated that the designed guaranteed response
should be within 4 ms when the disk I/O system was working.
It is possible to reduce the footprint on the disk of both OS/2 and Linux
significantly if one so desires. It should be possible to get a working
character based system for each onto a 3,5 inch floppy.
