What sort of effort should be expected to integrate the VxWorks driver into my target system?
A. Because VxWorks may have some board and BSP specific differences on systems from different vendors, some integration as well as testing should be expected on the customer’s part. The effort required normally falls within a few days to one week for development plus time for additional testing. It is not a major effort as our driver has been integrated into many different vxWorks based systems including PowerPC, Intel, MIPS and Xscale. Many times the driver needs only to be recompiled for the target system. The driver is designed to work in various systems with minimal changes. The required changes are encapsulated within easily identifiable “ifdefs” a VxWorks integration manual is provided that describes the integration procedures in detail. We have found that most customers complete this effort in just a few days to one week with follow on testing of perhaps a few weeks depending on the customer’s level of test requirements.
