Have I missed something? Yep. 'fraid so. RTEMS has a C *AND* ADA API. The majority of developers go the C/C++ route. I'm hoping to get a GNU Pascal binding running at some point this year. The docs should be available in the free support section...and are available in a variety of formats for download... at least I had no problems ;) The licence is GPL with a single exception that by including the OS header files you do not automatically place your app under the GPL. Many RTEMS developers(pretty much 100% volunteers) are regular contributers to binutils and EGCS just like the Cygnus guys( although not as numerous ;)... how much more open do you want?
