    VxWorks 5.x based application use only kernel mode headers and no user mode headers. So, can i just compile the VxWorks 5.x based application as a DKM in VxWorks 7?

    Thanks

    Yes, a DKM is the same for all versions of VxWorks. A dynamically loaded kernel module like a Linux *.ko.

    You can also directly link the 5.5 application, and build it as static kernel object in VxWorks 6.x or 7.

    The APIs have evolved a bit over time, and you may have to update the code to meet the requirements of newer compilers and more strict ANSI C/POSIX standards.
