Linux offers enormous advantages as an embedded device operating platform - if you can safely manage the risks. Whether you are just starting to consider Linux or your engineering team has extensive experience developing Linux devices, producing increasingly complex devices depends heavily on "best practices" that incorporate lessons learned. The key to effective embedded Linux development is leveraging the existing functionality of the base system and avoiding expensive trips into low value-add customization or long configuration and update cycles. And real-time requirements require particular care if the project is to complete in time, and stay within limited budgets. Wind River provides an array of real-time technologies for Linux: Real-Time Core and the "preemptive" Linux patch. Join us to learn about Real-Time Core, both under-the-hood of the operating system and in terms of how developers can best leverage the technology. We'll also talk about Embedded Linux platforms and tools. Topics covered at the webinar include: # Understanding application real-time requirements in advance and matching those requirements to hardware and power envelopes. # Performance considerations for real-time Linux application development # Tools, optimized for embedded Linux application development Guest Linux Industry Expert Dr. Victor Yodaiken, President of FSMLabs Dr. Yodaiken is the inventor of the dual kernel real-time solution used in Real-Time Core and the creator of RTLinux.
