Fast Response

ThreadX helps your application respond to external events faster than ever before. ThreadX is also deterministic. A high priority thread starts responding to an external event on the order of the time it takes to perform a highly optimized ThreadX context switch.

Real Time Library (RTL) – Keil, An ARM Company

The RealView Real-Time Library is a collection of tightly-coupled libraries that are designed to solve the real-time and communication challenges of embedded systems based on ARM powered MCU devices.

The Real-Time Library includes:

• RTX Real-Time Kernel (flexible royalty-free RTOS with source code)
• Flash File System
• TCP/IP Networking Suite
• CAN Interface
• USB Device Interface

The RealView Real-Time Library is designed to solve several common challenges for embedded developers including:

• Multitasking (which allows you to manage several jobs or tasks on a single CPU)
• Real-Time Control (which allows you to configure tasks so that operations execute within a defined period of time).
• Inter-Task Communication (which allows tasks in your system to communicate with each other).
• Internet Connection via Ethernet or Serial (Modem).
• Embedded Web Server including CGI scripting.
• E-mail Notification via SMTP

Red Hawk – Concurrent

Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux is an industry-standard, real-time version of the open source Linux operating system for Intel and AMD-based systems. RedHawk Linux provides the guaranteed performance needed in time-critical and hard real-time environments. RedHawk is the ideal Linux solution for a broad range of deterministic applications such as modeling, simulation, data acquisition, industrial control and medical imaging systems.

RedHawk guarantees that a user-level application can respond to an external event in less than 30 microseconds on a shielded processor.

RedHawk Linux includes all the features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The user-level commands, utilities and system administration are compatible with standard Red Hat.

RedHawk achieves its superior real-time performance by providing the latest official release from kernel.org that includes key open source patches and kernel enhancements developed by Concurrent. RedHawk user libraries provide access to value-add features that are not part of other Linux offerings. RedHawk is fully compatible with standard Linux userlevel APIs, thus Linux applications written for other Linux distributions will run on RedHawk without modification.

Benefits

• Complete Development Environment
• Scalable SMP and Processor Shielding
• Multithreading and Preemption
• Single Kernel Environment
• Frequency-Based Scheduler
• RCIM Support
• I/O Enhancements
• Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Optimization
• Red Hawk Cluster Management Software
• NightStar Application Development Tools

What is TALON DSP RTOS?

TALON RTOS is a suite of five (5) POSIX® Compliant Real Time Operating Systems that are individually optimized for each TI DSP family. This eliminates the need for understanding the underlying DSP specifics and allows the developer to concentrate on application development, reducing risk, development cycle and time to market.

TALON DSP RTOS meets the demands of sophisticated embedded DSP applications providing predictable, deterministic and hard real time behavior, unlike other OS’s such as Unix, Linux and their derivatives.

TALON DSP RTOS is ready to run out-of-the-box with hardware you may already have thanks to our board support packages (BSP’s). TALON versions exist for our TAILWIND USB-based reference boards as well as many TI DSK and EVM boards and include host to target utilities for communication, file access and JTAG emulation. All BSP’s come with OS driver source code illustrating how to communicate from your application running on the DSP to another host, board or process via PCI, USB, VME, ISA and standard parallel port interfaces.

TALON Operating Systems support a wide variety of Texas Instruments DSP’s.
