[Rock-dev] <offlist> ESA SOCIS RTT/Rock RTEMS

[Anita]

Hi Sylvain,

Porting Rock to RTEMS in a ARM sounds like fun to me! I worked long
time ago with an OMAP3 gumstix with RTLinux, it's a pity I do not have
access to the gumstix anymore :(

I also think that there's no enough time to do it in this ESA Summer
of Code, but sure I would be interested in doing it as a side project
after I finish the RTEMS x86/SPARC port.

Cheers,
Anita
