RTLinuxPro from FSMLabs offers a hard real-time extension to Linux for true real-time capability. While other “real-time” extensions to Linux consist of simply reducing the maximum latency in order to minimize the variability of program execution time, RTLinuxPro consists of a hard real-time kernel that runs Linux as a single thread. This allows Linux to be completely pre-empted when a real-time application needs to run. In RTLinuxPro, your real-time applications can run with guaranteed latency, resulting in more reliable performance.

Diamond Systems offers an RTLinuxPro evaluation kit in free download form as well as a pre-loaded flashdisk. We also offer an RTLinuxPro developer license (model DK-RTL-DEV) with a fully installed development environment on a 20GB notebook hard drive. Simply connect the hard drive to your Diamond Systems CPU board and power up. Now you can develop your application code directly on the target hardware and run it instantly, without wasting time on file transfers or worrying about compatibility.

The RTLinuxPro software development kits include a licensed binary runtime system with built-in data acquisition and control demo programs showing the benefits of RTLinuxPro hard real-time performance.
