Move RTOS Application to Embedded Linux

Migrate RTOS Applications to Linux

Porting legacy RTOS applications to Linux involves a series of steps, as follows :

Establishing a Cross-OS Development Environment on Host
Re-compiling the target code for new (Linux ) environment
Development, Addition of new features & Debugging the ported code
Improve the performance of migrated applications

Mapusoft , a global leader in embedded software re-use & interoperability solutions offers OS Changer® Porting kit to automatically migrate and re-use your legacy RTOS applications such as ThreadX®, micro-ITRON, Windows® XP/CE, VxWorks®, Nucleus® and pSOS® across a wide variety of Linux distributions and platform configurations.

OS Changer Porting Kit – Advantages

Allows you to easily move your RTOS applications to the Linux operating system, while saving you time and money.
Makes legacy RTOS applications productive to enterprise the by allowing them to be developed and tested on Linux host platforms without a need for the target hardware.
Improves the Linux OS by allowing additional features
Can also be used as a virtualized test-bench platform for performing system integration testing of your application on a Windows/Linux host
Provides development flexibility along with huge cost savings over manual porting.

OS Changer Porting Kit – Highlights

Porting and development on Windows/Linux Host
Enables Host based simulation, testing of real-time embedded applications
Application is connected effectively at the source code level
Offers permanent portability solutions that actually get your RTOS code to move to Linux and its variants
Flexible, easy to maintain and better migration to a unified OS architecture allowing for easy future migration.
Saves time, provides 80-90% portability requiring little code re-write on Hardware and Device Driver specific code
Supports multi Process, 32/64 Bit architecture, UMP/SMP muti-processor
Advanced thread pooling, Tiered memory pools and Tiered Shared Memory Pools features
Load modules from Linux command line or launch from application via creating process
Module can be broken into separate Linux processes with dedicated heap memory and kernel resources

Combining OS Changer Porting Kit with Linux OK kit™ provides a highly integrated development environment that combines RTOS and Linux applications development with optimization benefits:

Statically create and reuse control objects from pool
Statically create and reuse threads from pool
Enhance performance without breaking Linux API compliance
Configure target environment and resource requirements for various Linux kernel version and variants
Use OS Abstractor®’s tiered memory pools to eliminate memory fragmentation
Use OS Abstractor’s ability to recover from software fatal errors through a soft reset
Use same Interface APIs within and across individual application processes
API Optimization and Profiling
Application optimization via custom Interface code generation
