To that end, the kernel of RTP 2 Code VxWorks 6.x supports the VxWorks 5.5 kernel operating environment. Most Heap BSPs, drivers, and kernel applications developed for or ported to VxWorks 5.5 will run in the VxWorks 6.x kernel. By default, the VxWorks 6.x kernel builds like RTP 1 that of VxWorks 5.5. VxWorks 6.6 is also Task Task Task backward-compatible with all previous versions of VxWorks 6. VxWorks SMP is RTP 1 Code API-compatible with the uniprocessor Heap versions of VxWorks (with a few exceptions).
