>QNX is niche What is the most mainstream or perhaps "least niche" of the real time embedded OSes?

  Hmm... BlackBerry 10, perhaps? https://help.blackberry.com/id/blackberry-security-overview/latest/blackberry-security-overview-html/awi1402930370721.html https://help.blackberry.com/id/blackberry-security-overview/... BlackBerry nowadays is... well let's say the mobile world is basically divided into 2 sides these days: Android and iOS :p

    What? BlackBerry is realtime? Why?

      So you have the option of running the baseband on the application processor to save costs if need be, among other reasons.
      • ahati 8y ago
        You need a hypervisor for that. Qnx brought that later.

          You don't. Symbian EKA2 platforms (eg. S60 3rd edition and later) used to run baseband as userspace threads on same core as user applications. I would not be that surprised if that was main enabler for Nokia E51/52, ie. full-featured smartphone in executive-phone form factor (small and in the first place thin candy-bar).

  VxWorks/FreeRTOS There are also more mainstream real time Linux distros e.g. Yocto Linux

  There is linux-rt, a fork of linux but I don't think it's competitive in the industry.
