> RTOS for mobile phones
The market has clearly demonstrated that it doesn't care about phones being real time. They used to be considered critical systems from what I understand and many did actually run realtime OSes. Now we've got android and iOS (android is about as far from an RTOS as you can get, it's almost impossible to write an app that's not guaranteed to just killed by the OS at some point.)
- DaiPlusPlus 8y agoThe RTOS stuff happens in the handset’s baseband processor. The user-facing GUI environment has no hard real-time constraints.
