#rtos
Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~

but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter

Hmm!

Um no, most aircraft use RTOS unix / linux derivitave operating systems for navigation, PIKE os etc. No one is stupid enough to use micro$oft for navigation... 🤔

I finally made a ffmpeg static libraries for rtos and also made a ffplay and sdl on freertos application. It works very well without pthread.

although *where* they put it the H-RTOS kernel is the issue
October 24, 2025 at 1:36 PM
as a reference point, I'm familiar with Robot Operating System (ROS), which runs on the two Turtlebots I have at home. That's pure middleware and uses a publish-subscribe architecture.

But a lot of things like cars and planes use hard-RTOS of some sort

I dunno about likelihood, given the engineering challenges involved in all of it and the possible solution space therefore being pretty big. But the first Patlabor movie makes it clear that Labors use an H-RTOS, and probably specifically a time-sharing one, as a fictional example.
this is a weirdly specific thing but what would you think would be more likely to see on a fictional giant combat robot?

1. Middleware as glue to different services

2. Hard real-time operating system kernel as integrating layer

3. Something else

RTOS robot: fast, responsive, reliable. standardized parts make for easier repairs. standardized controls make pilots interchangeable. easily picks apart middleware robots early on…

It's also *what* needs timing guarantees.
Like if you need specific timing guarantees on a system, you likely will need to go rtos.

Whether it is to be one big rtos, or a bunch of systems that talk to each other and then are coordinated by a non-rtos orchestrator/planner is another question.

Ok, giant non-combat robots are my day gig. A common pattern that I use on multicore processors is to run middleware/glue/network/comm code on embedded linux on one or two cores and then dedicate a few cores to hard RTOS tasks and glue it all together with rpmsg. 1/

It's definitely not, it seems like the driver (in my mind and experience in the field) is the idea of having a dedicated device to do X is appealing. Esp with companies, the separation of FPGA teams and OS teams is a clean pretty line. Even if RTOS is the better choice for some applications over all

one of our new interns has "Linux Ricing" as a hobby listed and says he prefers Rust over anything else

and the other one says he only wants to write in C and his hobby is making a homebrew RTOS from scratch

I accidentally wrote an RTOS, and then wrote about the RTOS I accidentally wrote

"We need states to have more of a say in how PJM operates," says Gov. Shapiro. This is a major regulatory gap in U.S. electricity policy. While states regulate electric utility rates, RTOs are loosely governed by FERC but are really just governed by private interests. (1/2)
Governors push PJM to hold down power costs
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and mid-Atlantic governors are demanding more action to address rising electricity prices.

SONYが売れなくてもXperia辞めないのはわかる。実は中華はAndroidベースの組み込み機器を大量に作ってて、Androidのわかるエンジニアが山のようにいる。Androidでカーナビとか作れるスキルのエンジニアはレベルが高いので、マイコンとかでRTOS使ってスイスイ作れる。この辺のスキルが、スマホ作るの辞めると無くなるので、SONYは辞めない

Real-Time OS (RTOS): The Backbone of IoT and Industrial Automation
Imagine you’re driving a car, and the brakes take an extra second to respond. Scary, right? That’s the difference between a general-purpose OS and a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). An RTOS isn’t just “fast”—it’s predictably fast. Whether it’s a pacemaker or a factory robot, RTOS ensures tasks happen exactly when they need to, every single time. What is an RTOS?

Meu Deus! Um submarino naufragou no Egito deixando seis turistas m*rtos. Outros 39 foram resgatados com vida, estando 9 hospitalizados. O passeio era pelo Mar Vermelho e, segundo a Embaixada da Rússia, todos os passageiros eram russos.

This lab will port the application from the last two labs, a 1 Msps digital oscilloscope, to a RTOS (TI-RTOS). To complete all labs in this course, you will need to submit your source for that lab, and demonstrate the lab in operation to one of the course staff (a TA or tutor). You will be graded on the completion of the steps in this lab document.

The state regulatory organizations for both MISO and PJM have sent a letter to the RTOs asking them to redouble efforts around interregional transmission planning. #energysky 🔌💡
