• It is typically specialized for particular hardware that runs on and has time and memory constraints ,
firmware is the term mostly used for it.
• Manufacturers build embedded software into electronics of cars, telephones, modems, robots, security
systems, avionics, space technology etc.
• Unlike standard computers use Windows, Linus operating systems, Embedded systems use Real Time
Operating Systems(RTOS) like, Vxworks, LynxOS, BeRTOS etc.
• Code is written on C or C++ but now Phython and JavaScript are also in common us for Embedded
Systems.
REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEM:
• A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system intended for real time applications
with fixed deadlines (real time computing).
• RTOS are time bound system which has well defined fixed time constraints, process data as it
comes in, typically without any delays.
• RTOS applications include some embedded Systems, automobile engine controllers, industrial
robots, spacecraft, industrial control, and some large-scale computing systems.
• Some most widely used RTOS are Vxworks, OSE, LynxOS, RTLinux, BeRTOS, QNX etc.
VXWORKS:
• VxWorks is real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for use in embedded systems
requiring real-time, deterministic performance by Wind River Systems, first released in 1987.
• VxWorks is designed as a secure real time operating system for continuously functioning
devices like medical equipment, elevator controllers, satellite modems, space crafts, avionics,
Industrial control products, Internet of Things.
• VxWorks supports Intel architecture, POWER architecture, ARM architectures and RISC-V.
• VxWorks is used by products over a wide range of market areas.
AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE:
AIRCRAFT:
SPACE TELESCOPES:
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS:
ROBOTICS:
• ASIMO the Humanoid robot created by Honda.
MEDICAL:
• In medical applications Vxworks is mostly used in MRIs.
INDUSTRIAL:
• Self driving Autonomous cars.
• Industrial manufacturing Robots.
