Free tool provides a live view of RTOS events to facilitate embedded system design
Micrium Inc. and SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH & Co. today announced SystemView support for Micrium’s µC/OS-II® and µC/OS-III® real-time operating system (RTOS) kernels. The tool offers real-time recording and visualization that exposes the true run-time behavior of a µC/OS-II or µC/OS-III RTOS-based application. SystemView allows a developer using either kernel to ensure a system performs as designed, by tracking down inefficiencies and showing unintended interactions and resource conflicts. Micrium and SEGGER collaborated to tailor SystemView for use with the µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III kernels. Using SystemView, developers can analyze which interrupts, […]
VxWorks RTOS now works with IBM Watson IoT
Wind River is pleased to announce availability of the VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) client for the IBM Watson IoT platform. This is part of the IBM/Wind River collaboration to advance IoT deployments for industrial customers with new “edge-to-cloud” recipes designed to simplify and accelerate the development of smart connected devices. This integration marks the […]
What does Real-Time mean and when is it used?
“Real-time” essentially means “happening now or immediately responsive.” In engineering, real-time refers to systems that not only need to calculate the correct response, but they must respond instantly, often in continuous interaction (dynamically) with the system’s environment. Real-time is an expression used in two main areas with respect to software and electronics. Real-time can refer […]
Modbus Protocol filter gives cyber attack protection for industrial automation & control systems
Icon Labs has announced the release of its Floodgate Modbus Protocol Filtering product. This extension to Icon Labs’ Floodgate Security Framework adds critical protection capabilities for Industrial IoT and RTOS-based devices. The Floodgate Modbus Protocol filter provides the critical missing layer of security for Modbus/TCP devices. Integrated into the device, Floodgate Modbus Protocol filtering utilizes […]
Reduce preemption overhead in real-time embedded systems
by John A. Carbone Real-time embedded systems are expected to perform with predictable, real-time responsiveness. But in some cases, the functionality that enables that responsiveness can actually bloat the system and challenge its ability to perform as needed. With preemption-threshold scheduling, developers can reduce preemption overhead, while still enabling applications to meet real-time deadlines. The […]
Small footprint RTOS and IE Driver
works on Intel Innovation Engine
WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS)announced the launch of OpenRTOS IE, a powerful, small footprint RTOS and IE Driver solution for the Intel Innovation Engine (IE), which Intel announced this week at Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, CA. OpenRTOS IE allows systems builders to develop novel functionality upon Intel server platforms quickly and efficiently, helping […]
