COMMENT: COPYRIGHT (c) 2018. +.. COMMENT: RTEMS Foundation, The RTEMS Documentation Project + +Preface +******* + +The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) operating +systems is a layered system with each of the public APIs implemented in +terms of a common foundation layer called the SuperCore. RTEMS provides +full capabilities for management of tasks, interrupts time, and multiple +processors in addition to those features typical of generic operating +systems. RTEMS has been implemented in both the Ada and C programming +languages. + +.. topic: RTEMS Mission Statement + + RTEMS development aims to provide a free deterministic real-time operating + system targeted towards deeply embedded systems which is competitive + with closed source products. The RTEMS project encourages the support + and use of standard APIs in order to promote application portability + and ease porting other packages to the RTEMS environment. Source: + https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Mission_Statement + +The RTEMS development effort uses an open development environment in +which all users collaborate to improve RTEMS. The RTEMS cross development +toolset is based upon the free GNU tools and the open source C Library +newlib. RTEMS supports many host platforms and target architectures. |
