Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi All,

I'm starting to convert our serial drivers: drvAscii, drvSerial, tnetDrv to EPICS R3.14.0beta2.

- replace the OS primitives with EPICS OSI calls, i.e. instead of
 vxworks semaphores use epicsEvent or epicsMutex; convert
 vxWorks tasks to epicsThreads() etc.
- For VME, use the devLib calls to register addresses and IRQ handlers
 etc.

I also have a (I guess pretty portable) header for doing endian conversion
and I/O calls which I could contribute.

Regards

Has anyone out there done this already?
Does anyone have a recipe book for doing this?

In particular, what do I do with the VxWorks calls? Allan Honey and William Lupton used a "glue" layer to translate
VxWorks calls to solaris calls a while back with an alpha version.
Is this the recommended approach?

Thanks in advance.
