Re: WindRiver gone for 2015?
I believe there are two distinct topics in this thread.

The original topic is -- what are the possibilities of using cRIOs in 2015 and beyond. The goal is to provide SW that targets the cRIO so that it may be used on practice bots, training bots, demo bots, etc. Only FIRST can determine whether the cRIO is legal for use on a competition bot, but I doubt that will be allowed. LabVIEW, Java, And Python are relatively straightforward, and relatively obvious. C++ support is a bit more involved. If a team is able to obtain a license to the WR tools, they will work as they do today. The other option is to use the linked build tools.

The second topic seems to be about what HW the new WPILib may support. The I/O of the FRC controller is quite different than that of an RPi. The libraries are being made more portable, and could be taken to other platforms, but the priority is obviously to make them safe and robust on the FRC HW.
