Trampoline An Open Source Implementation of the OSEK/VDX RTOS Specification

Abstract

This paper introduces an OSEK/VDX operating system implementation. OSEK/VDX is an industry standard for real-time operating system used in the field of automotive embedded software. This implementation is proposed in the context of the open source software, which interest needs not to be demonstrated any more. The paper explains the main implementation choices as well as the technique proposed for the generation of a real-time application. This implementation is nowadays available for three targets: Infineon C167, Darwin/PowerPC and Linux/x86.
