How does CoDeSys work with real time operating systems?
The CoDeSys run time system works with all common real time operating systems. Customizations have already been performed to various target systems like Windows NT, VxWorks, QNX, pSOS+, RTX-DOS, PX-ROS RT kernel and many more. As a result of the lean interfaces between run time systems and operating systems virtually any operating system can be customized in a minimum of time. The interfaces (for models not equipped with preemptive multitasking) are limited to: • communication (e.g. serial) • time basis (milliseconds) • software interrupt / trap (for breakpoints) • optional task functions It is possible to employ the run time system without an operating system, solely with the help of start-up software, which ensures optimal cycle times.
