Hm.. What do you mean by isolating task faults? I think a lot of that depends on the underlying hardware, right (e.g., if the board has an MMU)? I know you can

Hm.. What do you mean by isolating task faults? I think a lot of that depends on the underlying hardware, right (e.g., if the board has an MMU)? I know you can insert a taskSwitchHook (I think it's called) that could be able to detect and kill runaway high-priority processes.
Edit: in response to the reply, I suppose I should have mean tasks instead of "processes" (which in VxWorks would be the RTP)
- noselasd 14y agoVxWorks has no processes[1]. It has tasks. Basically, you write kernel code, there's no user mode. [1] As someone mentioned, VxVorks 6 did introduce processes and "usermode", called RTP. As with most features of VxWorks, you compile that into your image if you want the feature. But there's a lot of inertia, and much of the VxWorks stuff I see doesn't use RTP yet.
