RTOS/Legacy Migration

Embedded Linux more and more is becoming the developers choice to use in products and projects.  For teams looking to move away from legacy products using a home grown or commercial real-time operating system (RTOS), migration can seem daunting.  MontaVista can help make this transistion less complex and tangible as we have worked with customers moving away from an RTOS based systems.  We have achieved these migrations by reviewing different appraoches:

  • Native Migration - Identify RTOS architecture, schedulers, compilers, and application differences to create the needed code changes
  • Virtualization - Execute the legacy RTOS applications in KVM or containers
  • Adaptation - Aim to reuse core parts of your software investment by using adaptation layers, like Mono and Java

Specifically we've launched a service to allow migration from Windows CE and Windows Embedded to our CGX Linux. Please see the tech brief on the sidebar for more details. We would love to hear from you and help complete your migration story successfully!

 

MontaVista can assist in scoping the best approach and making the necessary porting modifications for either native migration or setting up a virtualization environment to safely execute the legacy applications.  If you want to explore what is the best approach for your migration needs email sales@mvista.com or call +1-408-520-1591.
