A real-time operating system (RTOS) is key to many embedded systems today and, provides a software platform upon which to build applications. Not all embedded systems, however, are designed with an ...

can be written with a minimum amount of code, yet they are fraught with danger for the real-time designer. In the same way, this book has a kind of Zen-like simplicity and complexity: a yin and a yang ...

Linux now integrates PREEMPT_RT and is real-time capable. The eBPF-based "extensible scheduler" is also included.

The take away from this is that Linux is not a hard real-time operating system. With a few tricks and extensions, it can do some soft real-time tasks. The best solution is to either use an ...
