The VxWorks 6.6 to 6.7 Delta course provides engineers with a concise update on the differences between VxWorks 6.6/Wind River Workbench 3.0 and VxWorks 6.7/Workbench 3.1.

After this course, participants will be able to do the following:

• Describe new features in VxWorks 6.7
• Rapidly scale and customize the VxWorks kernel using VxWorks source builds (VSBs)
• Simplify debugging with dprintf (dynamic printf)
• Improve the performance of real-time processes, using the alternate overlapped memory model
