Real-time and embedded systems operate in constrained environments in which memory and processing power are limited. They must provide their services within strict time deadlines to their users and to ...

Until now, you cared only for the correctness of your code, and any computation performed was considered equally useful. “Real-Time” adds the timeliness requirement, where the usefulness of ...

Interrupt latencies that measure in the 10- to 30-µs range on single-core systems are reduced to 1 to 3 µs on equivalent- speed dual-core systems. With such low latencies, real-time control ...

4 Conclusion In this paper we presented xLuna, a software architecture featuring a portable user-mode version of the Linux OS, running on top of the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) RTEMS. xLuna can ...

4th course in the Real-time Embedded Systems Specialization. Instructor: Sam Siewert, Ph.D., Associate Professor Adjunct In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded ...

Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

The lack of real-time responsiveness disqualifies them for use in embedded-control applications. However, some Type 1 hypervisors are deterministic and can support real-time processing.

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… ...

This online engineering specialization will help you elevate your skills from a beginning practitioner to a more advanced real-time system analyst and designer. You will dive deeper into ...

For each embedded product, software developers need to consider whether they need an operating system; and if so, what type of an OS. Operating systems vary considerably, from real-time operating ...

QNX is a real-time OS, used in embedded systems such as automobiles, medical devices and handsets. BlackBerry acquired the OS in 2010 when it bought Quantum Software Systems.

Computing today is not restricted to your desktop computer. Printers, cell phones, and life-support systems are examples of systems that could not operate without reliable software. Building real-time ...
