Are there any requirements (recommendations) on what kind of RAM should be
used with QNX4 (e.g. registred, ECC, non-parity) considering that a computer
system is a single board computer with PIII 600 MhZ, Intel 440BX chipset,
on-board video and Ethernet…) ?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Simon
IMHO, the answer to this question depends on your application, not the OS. Is
your application controlling dangerous hardware, life critical, needs high
availability? Then you should consider ECC RAM; it can prevent crashes or
running wild. But to use it, you must hook NMI and do something sensible when
ECC makes a correction (typically switch to a redundant standby and notify
somebody to replace the defective RAM).
