VxWorks
Hardware Considerations Guide
6.0
1. Introduction
VxWorks runs on many architectures and targets from a wide variety of vendors,
including custom and embedded hardware, VMEbus, Multibus, and PCIbus
single-board computers, and workstation and PC mother boards. VxWorks can
also boot from many different UNIX and Windows hosts using a variety of
communication media.
With the number of combinations that have been configured, Wind River has
gathered sufficient experience to make recommendations in board design to best
suit the VxWorks run-time environment. However, this document should not be
used to determine the desirability of potential or existing ports. Many
considerations essential to such determinations, such as cost analysis, time to
market, and power and cooling requirements, are beyond the scope of this
document.
This document enumerates run-time functional requirements, distills features of
important run-time components, and warns against potential pitfalls. The primary
objective of this document is to assist developers in selecting or designing
appropriate boards and components for VxWorks operation. The following issues
are discussed in this document:
■
minimum system requirements
■
processor and architectural considerations
■
memory
■
bus
■
devices
