Real-time processing capabilities are now included in the main release of the Linux kernel, allowing developers to implement embedded Linux systems more easily. The move could also lead to more stable ...

What just happened? Linux has long been the versatile open-source workhorse behind everything from web servers to Android phones. A significant milestone now enables the penguin mascot to showcase its ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

An RTOS is a specialized operating system designed to handle time-critical tasks with precision and reliability. Unlike general-purpose operating systems like Windows or macOS, an RTOS is built to ...

Although Linux runs almost every supercomputer, most of the web, the majority of smart phones, and a few writers’ ancient Macbooks, there’s one major weak point in the Linux world that will almost ...

Back in 2006, Linus Torvalds said, "Controlling a laser with Linux is crazy, but everyone in this room is crazy in his own way. So if you want to use Linux to control an industrial welding laser, I ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

A real time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. A real-time operating system or RTOS (sometimes known as a real-time executive kernel) is a ...
