ROS2 on VxWorks RTOS

Next Generation ROS
2

Hello @razr, this is great for the community. We’d have couple of questions:

  1. How much did you need to change in ROS2 code? That is, is there any POSIX-compliance in VXWorks?
  2. Do you plan to support Python 3.5 such that one could then run colcon test and e.g. https://github.com/ApexAI/performance_test in VxWorks directly?
  3. Do you plan to support https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/soc/r-car-h3.html or https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-agx-xavier-developer-kit?
  4. Which compilers (gcc, clang, proprietary…) and libraries (libc,
    libc++ ) do you support? Which versions?
  5. What kind of development environment, tools, application level debuggers (e.g. gdb) do you provide?

We would then have lots of VxWorks specific questions (e.g. how do you do process and memory management) but let us know if we should post them here or in a separate thread or privately.
