Hey guys, Team 263 has recently just developed some C++ test software for pre-season use that utilizes pthreads. I know that tasks exist in WPILib, however as of right now pthreads do the job on a test run in Ubuntu. I was curious whether or not WindRiver can link the pthread library, as well as if VxWorks supports it. Is there anyone that can confirm whether or not pthreads work on the cRIO? Thank you!

Yes, VxWorks is POSIX compliant and we have used pthreads on the cRIO successfully.
