No vxworks5 for the moment...Did we miss something or did we make wrong assumptions ?From experience I can tell you that vxWorks will not work out of the box on QEMU. First because QEMU doesn't emulate the boards supported by vxWorks, and also because QEMU is focused on Linux. There's different way to deal with this, you can either create a custom BSP in vxWorks that support one of QEMU's board, or you can support a new board in QEMU (that's what we do).Hrm, any plans to move these upstream? :)Yes of course, we want them upstream eventually. During the last few years you've seen some of our patches (booke timers and eTSEC for examples). For boards it think it's not that easy, what would you say about a complete board that you cannot test because only vxWorks runs on it?
As long as I have a (vxworks) image I can verify with that it still works that's a perfectly desirable thing to have.
