I have installed xenomai 2.4.8 in Ubuntu 11.04 with this command: apt-get install libxenomai-dev Now I want test a simple vxWorks program, but when I compile my program, I receive this message: > Xenomai: vxworksskin or CONFIG_XENO_OPT_PERVASIVE disabled > (modprobe xeno_vxworks?) ...and the output of modprobe xeno_vxworks is: > FATAL: Module xeno_vxworks not found My question is, how can I eanble the xeno_vxworks module?

Is it possible to grep the buffer? For instance if I execute a build process in my VxWorks shell, linux shell, etc, is there a rolling file that contains buffer (e.g. data while scrolling)/previous output?

We have recently in our workplace stumbled upon a really old binary file that originates from unknown old computer. However in order to run this binary we need to get some local resources and hopefully accuire local additional documents regarding that binary. Talking about office masses... Now we already used 'dumpelf' binary to extract any kind of info about it. We assume from that information and together with our programming practice that the binary was compiled for vxworks 5.3.1 OS as a cross compilation from Solaris 2.6 OS and gcc version 2.95 (we are discussing here true legacy!) I already stated that I strongly believe it isn't possible, but hopefully i'm wrong. If name isn't possible to retrieve, we can use other properties such as an IP address, MAC address of a NIC, usernames, Computer model and etc to narrow our search down. Thank you for the upcoming efforts Edit: strings command was already suggested and executed, but gave no indicative outputs.

When developing a solution that requires a real-time operating system, what advantages would an operating system such an QNX or VxWorks have over Linux? Or to put it another way, since these operating system are designed specifically for real-time, embedded use - as opposed to Linux which is a more general system that can be tailored to real-time use - when would you *need* to use one of these operating systems instead of Linux?
