Which RTOS may that be??

Hello,

We're looking into the feasibility of porting DFB to a non-linux
embedded RTOS.  The target RTOS is vaguely posix-like, and can for
example create a basic memory-based filesystem.  It has a threading
library through it's certainly not pthreads.  Shared libraries are
clearly out, so static-only builds.

At this stage I'd be interested to hear first impressions, from
"doable but non-trivial" to "don't even think about it!".

A quick hack to the devmem system would probably get us moving re:
memory access to the display memory and accelerator MMIO region, but
I'm more concerned about other assumptions in DirectFB that require a
full blown filesystem-backed OS.

Porting stuff like libjpg, libpng, zlib etc won't be too much of a problem.

Any comments greatly appreciated, or pointers to others having tried
this before.

Thanks,

John
