Wiki RTOS的定義給你參考

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system intended for real-time applications. Such applications include embedded systems (programmable thermostats, household appliance controllers, mobile telephones), industrial robots, spacecraft, industrial control (see SCADA), and scientific research equipment.* v/ T% Z- v3 l$ G/ R- S1 k
" }' `6 ]: u: r3 MAn RTOS facilitates the creation of a real-time system, but does not guarantee the final result will be real-time; this requires correct development of the software. An RTOS does not necessarily have high throughput; rather, an RTOS provides facilities which, if used properly, guarantee deadlines can be met generally (soft real-time) or deterministically (hard real-time). An RTOS will typically use specialized scheduling algorithms in order to provide the real-time developer with the tools necessary to produce deterministic behavior in the final system. An RTOS is valued more for how quickly and/or predictably it can respond to a particular event than for the given amount of work it can perform over time. Key factors in an RTOS are therefore a minimal interrupt latency and a minimal thread switching latency./ A. m1 _2 T" v9 b

RTOS說到架構就有點難說明,你必須要清楚為何要使用RTOS在你的device作為軟體執行系統架構的核心。每個RTOS的架構都會有所差異,舉個簡例:MontaVista強調真正的Realtime的效能,其他的就不再贅述了。$ h) s3 e/ n' b3 Q. s( p
