Hello all,
I'm hoping to move our next-generation products to a StrongArm/embedded
Linux platform but have met resistance from some who contend that
Linux cannot be used as an RTOS. I understand that Linux cannot
complete directly with the likes of a real RTOS, say from Pharlap,
but if your RTOS requirements are minimal, the advantages of
having an open-source based system, with the huge amount of
software available, outweigh the RTOS deficiencies of Linux.
With an embedded Linux, I assume you can still service your
interrupt routines without having to make system calls. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.
So, any thoughts about Linux as an RTOS?
Thanks,
Chuck
