Hi Gal,

You may want to check out MontaVista (mvista.com). They are supposed to
be experts at migration from standard RTOSes (such as pSOS, vxWorks) to
RTLinux. They even have built emulation layers to ease the porting; see
their website.
They have a representative in Israel -- Agam Cross Systems Ltd. You can
contact Gil Glazer <Gil.Glazer@AgamSys.com>.

Please note that I don't have personal experience with MontaVista or
their reps yet, so I can't give a recommendation for or against them.

Other options might be Lineo and LynuxWorks BlueCat. 
Also see www.rtlinux.org and www.rtai.org.

Regards,

Gavrie.
