Is it possible, compiling one application with = vxWorks-skin and an other one with the posix-skin and to use/execute thes= e two applications simultaneously on one system ? Yes, feasible. There are example applications available for both skins, so setting up your own quick test will not take you much time. >=20 > In an earlier posting I have read, that all skins (or at least the nati= ve and the posix one) should be compiled as modules, so they do not overi= de the timer mode. Is this still true ? And if yes, dosn?t need the posix= skin an aperiodic timer, but the timer is set to periodic mode by the vx= works skin ? So, can an vxworks application and an posix applications run= together ?? It's true that the vxworks skin still forces the nucleus into periodic timer mode. This is a known shortcoming of the current timer subsystem. As announced earlier, we are aiming at a redesign to overcome this during the 2.4 development cycle. Ideas exist, remaining issues are also identified. But our resources are still limited, so there is no promise on a time-frame. Anyway, if you do not rely on having sub-tick timer precision for the posix applications you are planning, the available support should already be fine for you.
