Embedded RTOS Software for Military Defence, Aerospace and Avionics
The need for secure real-time operating system software and embedded computing security software for use in military embedded systems continues to rise due to increasing security concerns and threats. The IT sector has responded by ...
The Many Challenges of Real-Time Linux
Real-time Linux is a type of mainline Linux that is PREEMPT_RT enabled. When embedded projects require real-time operating systems, developers often opt for a PREEMPT_RT kernel patch that turns Linux into a real-time system. However, ...
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Numerical Fidelity
The digital signal processing (DSP) architecture is based on accurate and predictable real-time digital signal processing requirements that correspond to filter output, input data, and filter coefficients mathematical equations. As ...
Why 64-bit Windows Needs an RTOS
Current industrial PCs operating on 64-bit Windows that are accompanied by a scheduler on multicore multiprocessors deliver rich user interfaces and top-notch graphics. These systems offer the hard real-time performance, precision, ...
Using a Real-time Operating System in MCU Applications
Today’s MCUs (microcontrollers) are sophisticated enough to run an operating system, but they cannot run Windows, Linux or Linux variants due to the required resources. As a result, a wide range of MCU applications are based ...
The Difference Between a DSP Microcontroller and a Processor?
DSP processors and microcontrollers are microprocessors that are programmed to execute specific tasks or applications as assigned by their user. Though they are different, they both operate by manipulating a device’s binary data. DSP ...
