I remember doing some coding on VxWorks during my engineering school. From my then limited experience it was an oddball but also as my first exposure to hard real time programming it sure was approachable and reliable as fuck. Definitely not surprised it was picked for space stuff. Comparatively, toying with RT Linux was obscure and full of duct-tape and footguns. I wish I had a chance to try and code on QNX beyond merely booting that magical 3.5" floppy.
- bigiain 3y agoOh man! That QNX floppy was _so_ awesome. (I wonder how it'd stack up today? Surely an ESP32 has more compute grunt than anything that QNX demos ran on back in the '90s, I wonder if anybody has ported it?)
