AIX for embedded systems

ITEM: RTA000064235



I've got some customers that are developing embedded systems; bus-              
computer, GPS, automatic tolling equipment, fire alarms ...                     
I'm looking for information on if it's possible to use PowerPC                  
processors and som kind of run-time kernel for AIX. The objective               
is to have a operating system that support multitasking and can be              
booted from ROM (PROM or EPROM) or static RAM.                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
Unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of this support center.  Some           
books that may help in the process are:
