Windows NT Real-Time Extensions
Based on Windows NT, several
companies have developed real-time extensions or operating systems that
co-exist with Microsoft Windows on the same PC. The software-only or hardware
supported real-time part runs as primary task on the system and gives Windows
the remaining processing time.
Real-Time Operating Systems for Special Purposes
-
OSEK
- OSEK means "Offene Systeeme und deren Schnittstellen für
die Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug" ("Open systems and the
corresponding interfaces for automotive electronics"). OSEK started
as a joint project of the German / European automotive industry, it aims
at an industry standard for an open-ended architecture for distributed
embedded control units in vehicles.
