Real-Time Operating Systems

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system which uses specialized algorithms to schedule and guarantee deadlines of tasks. Key features of an RTOS include minimal latency for task switching and the number of tasks it can handle. Below is a list of RTOS available for the Hercules platform from various providers.
