I am developing an FPGA application which works in series with a main processor which is running an RTOS(VxWorks). Since my inputs and outputs are to and from that processor, should i be using any RTOS?
Kindly clarify. thanks in advance.

It really depends on your application. If you're implementing a processor core that will run multiple tasks, then you may want to consider using an RTOS. If your FPGA is only performing a single task, having an RTOS (or in fact, any OS) will just increase your resource requirements. Remember that bare hardware without an OS is also capable of realtime.
