vme cards, ada95 and orb

[jin.lu]

Hi all,

We are working on developing a real-time system based on
vme cards (MIPS or Motorola) connected by vme backplane. 
Our customers require that we use commercial RTOS like
pSos, VxWorks, VRTX and Chorus/OS and CORBA as a transparent
communication means (our system is very concurrent and 
distributive).  We would like to consider Ada95 as the 
programming language for its nice features. Is there a way
that we can put all things mentioned together?  Thanks for
your response.

Jin

Hello,

We are using the RISCAda+m cross compiler from Thomson Software
Products. It is an Ada83 compiler which generates code for m68k with
pSOS+m. They also have compilers for MIPS, but I don't know whether they
have the combination with pSOS+m.

I havn't heard anything yet about an Ada95 cross compiler. You can
better ask them yourself.

You can find the Ada cross compilers on:

	http://www.alsys.com/products/ada/cross.html

They doesn't mention there pSOS+, but I know that they have a compiler
because I'm using one.

regards
Vincent

VME, RTOS and CORBA are certainly doable, but Ada complicates the issue. 
The QNX RTOS (www.qnx.com) supports VME platforms and the Orbix CORBA 
product (www.ione.ie). Check it out....

The correct URL for Orbix is www.iona.ie (or www.iona.com) NOT www.ione.ie

Doesn't Green Hills make an Ada compiler that sits on top of VxWorks?  (I
don't have their address.  Sorry...)

Greenhills does make an Ada compiler to use w/VxWorks... But it is Ada-83 not
-95.  They may be coming out with a -95 product....

They do have an Ada95 compiler, currently being validated on a number of
targets. It can run over VxWorks.
