MiniRTL:
Hard Real Time Linux for Embedded Systems
Nicholas McGuire, University Vienna
Abstract
Embedded system development ismoving away from single-task/user applications running on specialized
target platform towards a reduced general purpose OS running on PC-like hardware. This move is well
represented by Linux based embedded projects and specialized minimum GNU/Linux distributions. As a
sample system and a basis for development of hard-real time embedded systems MiniRTL was developed
at the University of Vienna and at FSMLabs New Mexico. A system that is designed around three major
tenets:
- bootable on a 1.44MB media (currently simply a floppy)
- hard-real time capabilities, based on FSMLabs' current RTLinux development
- maximum compatibility to a "`standard"' desktop development system running an up-to-date kerne
