Real VMX QEMU Script

A script for people who want to develop for Real VMX, a VxWorks-like operating system kernel. The script installs ext2, GRUB, and a vanilla kernel to a small (32 MiB) QEMU image.

Real VMX running in QEMU.

Some features of Real VMX:

  • Priority-based multitasking and round robin scheduling
  • Partition-based memory management
  • Binary and counting semaphores with priority-inheritance
  • Message queues for inter-process communication
  • Virtual memory

Real VMX is licensed under the LGPL.
