Re: [Embedded-pv-devel] Xen with RTOS (such as Windows CE)

[Emir Elkholy <emirelkholy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I can try the same thing using Windows CE. How does FreeRTOS boot? From what I can see online it uses DOS to boot, is how you have used it with Xen? Windows CE uses a dos bootable drive to run a program named biosloader which loads the OS image when the board is powered on after BIOS runs. Does FreeRTOS boot in a similar manner? If so I can look into how to do the same for Windows CE as you have for FreeRTOS...

I have no experience with Windows CE, but we used Xen to host FreeRTOS for an experimental quadcopter a couple years ago. We got "close enough for research" real time results by pinning the RTOS to a CPU and making it the sole user of that CPU. We were planning to look into the ARINC scheduler to get better real time performance, but our client became more interested in a different area of the project and we never got a chance to pursue it.

Currently we boot Windows CE from a dos bootable drive using a program called biosloader on our x86 Baytrail board (Intel). After the BIOS loads our USB stick (or SSD) with the Windows CE image is loaded by BIOSloader. Would Xen be able to load Windows CE in a similar fashion? Has Xen ever been used with an RTOS like Windows CE? I would like to use Xen to run linux for our GUI and Windows CE for our real-time code.Â

Thanks!
