Hi Pallabi,

Are you wanting to run VxWorks on the A53 cores or the R5F cores?

I don't believe we support 6.9 (targeting 7.0) and will check with counterpart at VxWorks. If you have a contact at VxWorks, I would reach out in parallel to see if they provide support.

Best regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I want to run VxWorks on A53 cores. Even if it supports Vxworks 7.0, might work for me.

Please keep me updated.

We are trying to reach out Wind River.

If we start any communication with them, will keep you in the loop.

Thanks,

Pallabi Baruah

Hi Mike,

Do you know any other active processor which supports VxWorks 6.9?

And which bootloader we need with VxWorks?

Regards,

Pallabi

Hi Pallabi,

VxWorks has a nice little search engine @ https://bsp.windriver.com/bsps/product/vxworks_6-9 - below are the search results for TI processors support.

The assumption is that whatever bootloader is needed, it will come with VxWorks 6.9 (We did a bit of research and U-boot is not supported on VxWorks 6.9: https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/usage/os/vxworks.html)

Product: VxWorks 6.9

On your boot loader query, the guidance will be the same as for your post on AM68
