The work done on real-time Linux has benefitted the open-source OS for years, but it was only this week that Linus Torvalds admitted its last piece into the mainline kernel. Exactly what took so long?

The Integrity real-time operating system gives designers of MIPS32-based defense systems a secure, reliable, royalty-free target environment for deploying their applications. Integrity builds a ...

Such systems demand core-assignment and task-scheduling support from the underlying operating system to meet hard real-time requirements without compromising resource usage. Embedded Linux isn’t a ...

Linux is not a real-time operating system (RTOS), meaning that it can’t respond to requests in the real world within a set timeframe.

The quest for compatibility and portability is a perpetual challenge in embedded systems. While many systems today have adopted real-time operating systems (RTOS), each is unique and different enough ...

It’s a Unix-like real-time, microkernel-based operating system that’s most widely used these days in automotive systems – more than 200 million cars run QNX-based software.
