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 ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

Over time, web browsers have accumulated a ton of features beyond what anyone from the 90s might have imagined, from an application platform to file management and even to hardware access. While this ...

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, which ...

Real-time operating system kernels in embedded systems need to be configurable. Unfortunately many of today's commercial real-time kernels are monolithic. These optimized code packages are difficult ...

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 ...

X-Ware IoT Platform (Fig. 1) is Express Logic’s industrial grade IoT Device-to-Cloud platform that runs on Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS. It targets deeply embedded IoT sensors, devices, edge routers, ...

Modern DSP applications must respond quickly to many external events, be able to prioritize processing, and perform many tasks at once. These complex applications are also changing rapidly over time, ...

During the next few years, the technology needed to meet NextGen requirements will be added to aircraft cockpits already bristling with advanced systems. As it is doing now for many safety-critical ...

This is a big year for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) real-time operating systems (RTOS). Green Hills Software (GHS), LynuxWorks and Wind River Systems have recently passed or plan shortly to ...
