We can only provide limited support for the VxWorks 5x and 6x driver, as we do not have a working VxWorks development environment. Nevertheless, driver code has been tested on latest VxWorks versions 6.7 and 6.9 successfully. Due to infrequent update cycles, the drivers software core cifX/netX Toolkit (NXDRV-TKIT) may get outdated soon. To get the latest issues fixed, customers are advised to update the toolkit sources to the latest released version!
