Real-Time Programming |
|
|
I need to write a simple test. But it has to be real-time. It will show some
objects on the display and user will have to response to them by pressing
space key, for instance. I know that Windows XP is not a Hard Real Time
System. Is it possible to make it? I tried to use RTOS by Venturcom, but it
doesnt have GUI. I have CeWin, but I dont really understand if it's possible
to use it. Any suggestions? May be you know what RTOS I can use to accomplish
this task. Thank you... |

Windows CE is real time out of the box, but as you mentioned there is
learning curve involved. There are some other real time solutions for XP
Embedded. You've already tried Venturcom's. Tenasys also has a solution.
One thing to keep in mind though is whichever 3rd party solution you go
with, there is also learning curve. You should decide which base OS has the
most benefit for you. For example, if the device you're creating will have
a lot of units sold using WindowsCE as a RTOS will give a great cost benefit
(license) over going with XPE + 3rd party RTOS. If you need to use 3rd
party software (apps/drivers) that are already available for XP, then you'll
save porting effort by staying with XPE.

Doesn't sound very realtime to me!
A human's response time is anything BUT realtime. (In computer terms) |
