[taste-users] TASTE with RTEMS 4.12 (or maybe 5.1)

[Sebastian Huber <sebastian.huber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

we are responsible for a proper RTEMS support in the following ESA project:

G617-010SW - Multicore Implementation of the On-Board Software Reference 
Architecture with IMA Capability

The first RTEMS version with a useful SMP support with be RTEMS 4.12 
(which may be also 5.1, there is currently a discussion about the next 
release number on the RTEMS mailing list). Now is an excellent time 
frame to fix all outstanding problems with respect to a good RTEMS 
integration into TASTE.  Some major features of RTEMS 4.12 are:

* SMP support
* 64-bit time_t to avoid the year 2038 problem
* self-contained POSIX synchronization objects (used for example by the 
Ada run-time)
* move and update of POSIX header files to Newlib (this enables to build 
Ada along with the C/C++ compiler in one rush)
* thread-local storage support for Ada

Please let me know if you have something on your wish list for a better 
TASTE integration of RTEMS.

Due to the various obstacles to build an Ada compiler for RTEMS in the 
past, the Ada support was not tested very often. Some Ada tests in RTEMS 
fail or have timeouts. It would be nice if someone is interested to fix 
this.

Are POSIX signals used in TASTE?
