Hard RTOS, by University of Hannover: mature (usable in real-world systems), compact, scalable from small embedded uses to big development workstations; Motorola-based (MC, MP); uses ISO 9001-2 (software development) as internal guideline, mostly programmed via RT high-level language PEARL90, DIN 66253-2.
- Mälardalen Real-Time Research Center - http://www.mrtc.mdh.se/
At the IDt (CS) Department, Mälardalen University, Sweden. Fine lists of projects, publications, and other documents. Home of Asterix Project: the real-time kernel for the final frontier.
- Real-Time Mach NTT - http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/rtmach/
Another version of Real-Time Mach, by NTT Laboratories. Contains RT-Mach kernel, FreeBSD 2.2.8 server, real-time shell, RT-Java, Hurd loader. Site has fine 'Getting Started' section: readme, release notes, installation, hardware, compatibility, troubles Q&A, contacts.
- The Spring Operating System - http://people.msoe.edu/~sebern/courses/cs384/papers98/joseph.pdf
Term paper describing development of this research realtime OS. Good discussion of needed trade-offs, compromises.
- Spring Project - http://none.cs.umass.edu/rts/spring.html
Realtime microkernel and integrated environment, designed and implemented to support/provide predictability, guarantees (on-line dynamic, atomic), end-to-end scheduling, resource reservations; supports call/task admission model; and multiprocessors.
- Chimera - http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~aml/chimera/chimera.html
Multitasking, multiprocessor OS with features of commercial realtime OSs; as fast as VxWorks, OS-9, VRTX, LynxOS; 10 times faster in some cases: interprocessor communication. VMEbus-based, supports C/C++, goal: support developing dynamically reconfigurable software for robotic and automation systems.
- MaRTE OS - http://marte.unican.es/
Realtime kernel for embedded uses, follows Minimal Real-Time POSIX.13 subset. Most code is Ada, but some C, assembly. Hardware access via Abstract Hardware Interface (HAL). Runs in cross development environment: PC Linux Host, bare 386 PC Target, Ethernet LAN link. [Open Source, GPL]
- XOberon - http://www.ifr.mavt.ethz.ch/research/xoberon/
Hard realtime OS for mechatronics, newest version for PowerPC; loosely based on Oberon OS, coded in Oberon-2. Goal: create framework for non-computer-scientists needing rapid application development (RAD) tool to program embedded systems.
- Arx - http://redwood.snu.ac.kr/
A full, stand-alone RTOS: fully preemptive realtime kernel, POSIX thread library, multithread-safe standard I/O libraries, TCP/IP suite, VFAT file system, X11 R6 window system, user-level IO. By Real-Time OSs Lab, Seoul National University.
- E.R.I.K.A. - http://erika.sssup.it/
Microkernel RTOSs and set of integrated tools to develop embedded realtime applications, made to support all architectures used in power train controllers in automotive industry. Kernels have 2 main layers: Kernel Layer, Hardware Abstraction Layer, HAL. [Open Source, GPL]
- S.Ha.R.K. - http://shark.sssup.it/
Dynamic configurable kernel architecture to support hard/soft/non realtime use with interchangeable scheduling algorithms: fully modular in scheduling policies, aperiodic servers, concurrency control protocols; all not modular in most traditional OSs. Derived from HARTIK: HArd Real TIme Kernel. [Open Source, GPL]
- SUMO - http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/research/sumo/
