A kernel can be defined as the essential center of an operating system. The kernel is the core of an operating system that provides a set of basic services for the other parts of the operating system.

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

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 ...

Most of the computers we interact with on a day-to-day basis use an operating system designed for flexibility. While these are great tools for getting work done or scrolling your favorite sites, they ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Integrity real-time operating system gives designers of MIPS32-based defense systems a secure, reliable, royalty-free target environment for deploying their applications. Integrity builds a ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are increasingly being used in safety-critical applications such as medical technology, the automotive industry, and aerospace. This raises the growing question of ...

Real-time operating systems require a set of functionality to effectively perform their function, which is to be able to execute all of their tasks without violating specified timing constraints. This ...
