#104143 - Not joining the debate Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I do not intend to join the debate on when to RTOS or whether it is good/bad. I just wish to highlight the significance of Hard RealTime and Soft Realtime systems. Perhaps this is where the debate lies. Personally, I havent used any branded one till date; but, I have made my own co-operative task scheduler similar to Ian's which I have been using sucessfully for many years now. This would qualify as a soft-realtime system.

I call the thingies URTOS for UnReal Time OS since the reaction to external events usually is miserable. A recent article about Real Time Linux breagged about bringing the reaction time down to 100us on a 300 MHz processor. If that id=s REAL time, the moon is blue.
