What is a real-time os?
Is it an OS that queues the messages and have a certain time bound
within which the message will be serviced?
In that case, can Linux do it?

No. It's a timesharing kernel, not an RT one. If you need RT based onQuote:>What is a real-time os?

No. It is good enough in many cases, but there are no guarantees. IfQuote:>In that case, can Linux do it?

Grant Edwards grante Yow! WHOA!! Ken and

visi.com MUCH FUN!! It must be the

1. Seeking OEM/embedded real-time OS for Intel (or other) architectures
[Please note: this message is crossposted to a number of groups. I am
hoping someone with an interest in OS's might have an answer to my
question. If you post a follow-up, please consider its relevance to the
groups, and trim the newsgroups lines if appropriate. Thanks.]
I am looking for an embedded operating system, for real-time control of a
communications oriented computer. The system must be:
real-time (can do interrupt processing)
preemptive multi-tasking, with thread prioritization
provide full protected memory management per process
(hopefully) provide object security and access control lists
(hopefully) provide a file system, preferably journaled or otherwise fault
tolerant
(hopefully) provide communications and networking primitives or drivers
(hopefully) be for sale (i.e., source code)
My emphasis is on robustness, and small footprint. I need something lean
and mean, yet able to control a computer of approximately the power and
capacity of current desktops (without the user interface stuff).
I am particularly interested in something designed for the Intel x86
architecture, but will consider other architectures. I am not too keen on
the x86 for proprietary control, but it is nice for other reasons (tools,
prototyping, available I/O cards/devices, etc.)
Also, if anyone can think of any other resources, on-line or off, I might
want to look into, to try to source such a product, (or to help me design
one if necessary -- any good texts??), please let me know.
(A copy by e-mail would be appreciated, but I will try to keep my eyes out
on these groups.)
Thanks in advance, for any information.
