The operating system is part of the system software layer (Figure 1). The function of the system software is to manage the resources for the application. Examples of system resources that must be ...

“Real-time operating systems serve a critical role in ensuring safety at the processing level because they guarantee that hundreds, if not thousands, of specific algorithms get executed on time ...

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is specialized control software that's often used in embedded computing applications that have tight memory resources and stringent performance requirements ...

[Jim Tremblay] wrote a real time operating system for a bunch of different microcontrollers. There are a lot of examples for everything from an Arduino Mega to STM32 Discovery boards.

When do you need to use a real-time operating system (RTOS) for an embedded project? What does it bring to the table, and what are the costs? Fortunately there are strict technical definitions, whi… ...

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?

Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are increasingly being used in safety-critical applications such as medical technology, the automotive industry, and aerospace.

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

Since this motor control example is a real-time system (there are hard real-time deadlines for critical operations to complete), there must be a priority assigned to the thread execution.

As military and civil aircraft add more capable and connected technologies, real-time operating system (RTOS) developers are facing growing security concerns and challenging certification issues ...
