Real Time Operating Systems

RTLinux™ is a hard real-time operating system that handles time-critical tasks and runs Linux as its lowest priority execution thread. In RTLinux, a small hard-realtime kernel shares one or more processors with standard Linux. This allows the system to run accurately timed applications to perform data acquisition, systems control and robotics, while still serving as a standard Linux workstation. - from the www.rtlinux.org home page.

We will use the RTOS in different hardware integration pieces of the system. Such as in the use of the analog to digital conversions, different critcal sensor networks for vision and road positioning systems. This systems may be tied to safety devices where a real time return of service is a high level of importance.
