Hi Ali I have seen some talk within the OpenRTE community about possibly porting the system to VxWorks, but I don't really know where that currently stands. I¹m not sure about the others. Part of the problem, frankly, is just having access to systems for test purposes. Our community at present tends to center around a few system platforms, so we are limited in our ability to port/test.
Hopefully that will expand in the future.
