Understand the concept of Real Time operating System


A real-time system is defined as a data processing system in which the time interval
required to process and respond to inputs is so small that it controls the environment.
The time taken by the system to respond to an input and display of required updated
information is termed as the response time. So in this method, the response time is
very less as compared to online processing.
Real-time systems are used when there are rigid time requirements on the operation of a processor or
the flow of data and real-time systems can be used as a control device in a dedicated application.

A real-time operating system must have well-defined, fixed time constraints, otherwise the system will
fail.
For example, Scientific experiments, medical imaging systems, industrial control systems,
weapon systems, robots, air traffic control systems, etc.
There are two types of real-time operating systems.

Hard real-time systems


Soft real-time systems
Hard real-time systems guarantee that critical tasks complete on time. In hard real-time systems,
secondary storage is limited or missing and the data is stored in ROM. In these systems, virtual
memory is almost never found
Soft real-time systems are less restrictive.

A critical real-time task gets priority over other tasks and retains the priority until it completes.

Soft real-time systems have limited utility than hard real-time systems.
For example, multimedia, virtual reality, Advanced Scientific Projects like undersea
exploration and planetary rovers, etc.
Advantages:
The advantages of real time operating systems are as follows-

Maximum consumption –
Task Shifting –
Focus On Application –
Real Time Operating System In Embedded System –
Error Free –
Memory Allocation –
Disadvantages:
The disadvantages of real time operating systems are as follows-

Limited Tasks –
Use Heavy System Resources –
Complex Algorithms –
Device Driver And Interrupt signals –
Thread Priority –
use an RTOS

Here are important reasons for using RTOS

• It offers priority-based scheduling, which allows you to separate analytical processing from non-critical
processing.

• The Real time OS provides API functions that allow cleaner and smaller application code.

• Abstracting timing dependencies and the task-based design results in fewer interdependencies between
modules.
• RTOS offers modular task-based development, which allows modular task-based testing.

• The task-based API encourages modular development as a task, will typically have a clearly defined role. It
allows designers/teams to work independently on their parts of the project.

• An RTOS is event-driven with no time wastage on processing time for the event which is not occur
