Have you actually tried to build ACE on RTEMS? The ACE site
claims to support RTEMS and has comprehensive build/install
information:
 http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/ACE-INSTALL.html
The RTEMS archives also have reported success building ACE
on i386 platforms:
    http://www.rtems.com/ml/rtems-users/2001/april/msg00030.html
    http://www.rtems.com/ml/rtems-users/2003/june/msg00118.html
The CMLOG Client and ClientD code don't appear to have too many VxWorks
dependencies.
Maybe porting to RTEMS would be easier than changing iocLogServer?

Hi All,
We're looking at upgrading iocLogServer so that it either writes messages to a file, like it does now, or forwards the messages to the cmlogServer (which would make iocLogServer be a cmlog client). We think it's easier to do this than to port the CMLOG client and daemon, and particularly ACE, to our RTEMS IOCs. Part of this effort would also be to add support for messages that contain both ASCII text and other ASCII "tags" like facility, status, severity, and task name.
Any comments? Dumb idea? Anybody interested in something like this? Should it be done in such a way that it can go into some future EPICS base version with the new features enabled via some configure file? Or left unbundled?
Thanks,
