Visuality Systems NQ product line offers developers full CIFS file-sharing capabilities for their embedded devices. Aren there other file sharing solutions now available for embedded systems?

0

There are several other file-sharing solutions for embedded systems available today, none of which can provide proper CIFS support. For example, the leading RTOS VxWorks only offers an NFS implementation making it impossible to share files in a Windows networking environment. Another example is Embedded Linux, which can use Samba as a means to provide CIFS file sharing. Although Samba is an available working solution, its large memory footprint and lack of support make a non-viable solution. In short, CIFS NQ is the only product available today to provide a complete embedded CIFS solution regardless of the RTOS employed.
