Realtime OS Jaluna

rkgmd writes "Jaluna-1, a software component suite based on the respected chorus realtime os is now available in opensource (MPL-derived license) form. Jaluna, the company behind this, is a spin-off from sun to promote and develop chorus, and consists of many developers from the original chorus team before it was acquired by Sun. Chorus developed one of the earliest successful microkernel-based rtos's (could even run parallel, distributed unix in realtime on inkos transputers in 1992). Lots of good research papers here, and a link to the original newsgroup announcement."

College isn't for technical training.

[BoomerSooner]

College is to give you a foundation of understanding so no matter where the technology goes you will have the ability to learn it due to your broad base.

If you want tech training go to DeVry/University of Phoenix (what a crock name). This is why a degree is worth more than certifications.

Plus, no one is stopping you from learning about RTOSes. I'm going through the Minix Computer OS Design book by Tanenbaum right now. You can either be spoon fed like most university students, or you can get up off your ass, show some motivation and learn it on your own. This is why I never have a problem finding a job and others cant get an interview. People want to hire motivated workers not someone who'll just tow the line.

Re:QNX

[wfmcwalter]

At least as far as the kernels are concerned, ChorusOS and QNX-neutrino are quite similar - both are realtime, microkernel based, protected-mode embeddable OSes, available for a number of microprocessors and embedded boards. Most of this (with the exception of the micrkernel part) is also true for Windriver's VxWorks AE RTOS.

VxWorks' and QNX's advantage over ChorusOS was a combination of wider BSP support and very mature toolchains. ChorusOS big advantage was that it was specifically targetted at distributed applications - this is a issue for applications that combine real-time performance with data-centre-like reliablility (particularly telco).
