Drupal and Mediawiki Updated on RTEMS.org

I updated Drupal and Mediawiki this morning on the server to the latest and greatest version. This is a largely manual operation and although everything appears to be fine, I wanted to let everyone know something changed. So if you see an anomaly, please report it.

Go Programming Language now available for RTEMS

Thanks to the success of Vinu Rajashekhar's Google Summer of Code project, we are pleased to announce that there is now support for the Go programming language, a new systems language, for RTEMS. Vinu successfully ported GCC Go to RTEMS. This is the first cross and first embedded systems port of Go. The port is passing all of the Go tests in its GCC testsuite.

RTEMS Include In Dr Dobbs Blog

Al Williams is a blogger at Dr Dobbs and included RTEMS in a short list of real-time operating systems most of which are free. It was a short post but it was nice to make the list and get a bit more exposure. The URL is http://www.drdobbs.com/blog/archives/2010/08/embedded_operat.html.
