NASA Dawn Mission

[Jiri Gaisler]

You probably mean the Dawn Framing Camera (FC). It is controlled
by a LEON2 cpu in a Xilinx FPGA, running RTEMS. Some links
are here, I am sure can google up some more ...

Jiri.

PS. An interesting question would be who has the most
lines of code in the system. The LEON2 cpu is about
50,000 lines (of VHDL) - how much is RTEMS ...?   :-)
