This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

As an example of a hard real-time scenario, imagine a system where the embedded controller has to respond to incoming sensor data within a specific timespan.

The system supports a range of development platforms—from standard PCs to PDAs—using many of the most popular embedded processors. Comprehensive device drivers, supported platforms, and third-party ...

A Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS) is an OS that manages hardware resources, hosts applications, and processes data on a real-time basis. RTOS defines real-time task processing time, interrupt ...

But interrupt latency is just one aspect of a real-time system. Scheduling is another. Here again, there are options with Linux, because the default scheduler isn't always an optimal solution.
