“FSMLabs, the RTLinux[tm] Company, announced today that its
RTLinux operating system is now available with a NetBSD component.
RTLinux is a high speed, efficient and small realtime kernel based
on the POSIX 10003.13 PS51 specification. Using a patented
dual-kernel design, RTLinux runs a general purpose OS as the lowest
priority thread of the realtime kernel. As a result, realtime
software components run in a predictable low latency environment.
At the same time, developers still have access to the full power of
the general purpose OS, including its applications and development
tools. This greatly improves development efficiency and
time-to-market for realtime applications. While standard RTLinux
uses Linux as its general purpose OS, RTL/BSD uses NetBSD,
providing the identical POSIX threads API and many of the same
development tools.”
