Description
A Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS) is an OS that manages hardware resources, hosts applications, and processes data on real-time basis. RTOS defines real-time task processing time, interrupt latency, and reliability of hardware and applications, which is especially important for low-powered and memory constrained devices and the networks/systems that depend upon them. The key difference between the IoT RTOS market requirements and a general-purpose OS lies within the former’s high degree of reliability and consistency.
IoT RTOS Market Dynamics
A Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS) is an OS that manages hardware resources, hosts applications, and processes data on real-time basis with precise timing. Key RTOS features include memory management, multi-tasking, scheduling, and task communication. RTOS defines real-time task processing time, interrupt latency, and reliability of hardware and applications, which is especially important for low-powered and memory constrained devices and the networks/systems that depend upon them. The key difference between the IoT RTOS market requirements and a general-purpose OS lies within the former’s high degree of reliability and consistency in terms of timing between application’s task acceptance and completion as compared to the latter.
Traditional RTOS cannot guarantee the Real-time responses required in an IoT Environment
Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) represent tiny integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. MEMS consist of a central unit that processes data (the microprocessor) and several components that interact with the surroundings such as micro-sensors. MEMS provides a business benefit through their ability to sense, control and actuate on the micro scale, and generate effects on the macro scale. MEMS are key components in a wide variety of embedded devices, systems, solutions and applications across virtually every industry vertical. Leading micro-electronics suppliers, such as STMicroelectronics, provide various MEMS solutions such as smart sensors and sensor hubs involved in sensing for UV, temperature, and touch.
One very important area for MEMS that cuts across multiple industry verticals is smart systems, which are self-sufficient intelligent technical systems/subsystems with advanced functionality that combine mutually beneficial capabilities such as sensing, actuation, data management/analytics, and informatics. High growth areas for MEMS include a few emerging high-tech segments such as virtual reality and many Internet of Things (IoT) related areas such as connected vehicles, UAVs, and others. In fact, the IoT RTOS market is very important to the embedded IoT ecosystem.
RTOS is a Critical Component to build Comprehensive Embedded Systems for Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions for both Consumer and Industrial IoT (IIoT)
There is a strong relationship between embedded systems, RTOS, and IoT as real-time OS solutions are a component to build comprehensive embedded systems for IoT solutions for consumer products as well as industrial IoT (IIoT) assets, systems, and processes. Embedded RTOS is a key consideration to deploy mission-critical, ultra-reliable IIoT applications across various industry verticals including industrial equipment, automotive, healthcare, telecommunications, government solutions, and others. This will especially be the case for Industry 4.0 in terms of industrial automation processes and manufacturing assets such as smart machines and cloud robotics.
