RTEMS' design provides performance and +capabilities are comparable to those of the best commercial executives. +The directive execution times and other critical performance measures such +as interrupt latency are best of class. RTEMS was developed by On-Line +Applications Research Corporation (OAR) under contract to the U.S. Army +Missile Command. + + +RTEMS includes support for multiple APIs. Currently RTEMS supports a +POSIX threads API, and an RTEID based API which is similar to pSOS+. +RTEMS includes a number of advanced real-time features including optional +rate monotonic scheduling support, binary semapahores with priority +inheritance, and watchdog timer functions. + +RTEMS includes a port of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack that has high +performance on very modest hardware. A remote debug server is supported +on some targets that allows debugging across the network. + +RTEMS provides a rich run-time environment with a reentrant C library, +POSIX 1003.1b support, and file system support. It also includes optional +debug aids like stack overflow and heap integrity checking. + +RTEMS is built using GNU autoconf and can be built on any host supporting +the GNU tools including Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and MS-Windows to +name but a few. The current RTEMS release supports a the following CPU +families: + + Motorola m680x0, m683xx, and ColdFire + Motorola and IBM PowerPC (4xx, 6xx, 7xx, and 8xx) + Hitachi SH-1 + Intel i386, i486, Pentium, and i960 + SPARC + MIPS + HP PA-RISC + AMD A29K + +There are over 35 Board Support Packages included with RTEMS including +BSPs for the SPARC and PowerPC simulators included with gdb. There are +numerous BSPs for CPUs targetting the embedded market such as the Motorola +m683xx and mpc8xx series which support the on-CPU peripherals. + +WWW: + +http://www.OARcorp.com + +E-mail: + +rtems-info@OARcorp.com or +Joel Sherrill (joel@OARcorp.com) + |
