Data VxWorks O.S

is there any system call in linux which maps to taskSpawn ( ) in VxWorks RTOS
# 2  
Old 12-22-2005
pthread_create () or fork ()

first and prime thing of mapping the calls used in these device software operating system to linux is architecture dependent.

though linux offers good set of API's they arent deliberately construed for the use of RTOS functionalities. Hence a one-to-one mapping in all the cases may not be fruitful.

but the initial slot of these kind of porting effort was concentrated on one-to-one mapping of tasks to threads

some times there may be use of specific code that would fail to readily translate

hope this helps!
