Efficient Integration for Real-Time Embedded Computing
|
Real-time OS requirements are increasingly important in industrial automation, medical
systems, test and measurement systems, military systems, transportation systems
and robots. Advantech provides not only the hardware platforms, but also solutions
for OS integration and modification services to fulfill embedded developers' needs
when they are developing real-time embedded applications.
Advantech provides a series of Real-Time OS services for Advantech Embedded products.
The services include RTX, QNX, Windows CE and VxWorks.

Advantech provides solid, real-time solutions by integrating RTX and Windows® XP
for a ready to use image. The solution is deployed on all Advantech Intel® Atom™
N450/D510 based embedded platforms.
|
|
Provides a Real-Time Subsystem (RTSS) that runs on Windows
|
|
Provides precise clock, timer and control of IRQs
|
|
Direct access to I/O, BUS and memory
|
|
RTX implements deterministic scheduling of real-time threads
|
|
RTX-based applications survive Windows® crashes
|
|
|
|
Increased Competitiveness and Clear Production Differentiation
|
|
Better yields and throughput on machines of similar footprint
|
|
Same yields and throughput on machines with smaller footprint
|
|
Dramatically increased quality for machines with same footprint
|
|
Reduced Cost of 25-50% in the Compute Platform
|
|
Elimination of additional PC to perform HMI function
|
|
Elimination of proprietary controller and communications cards
|
|
Improved asset utilization – i.e. using available multi-core capacity rather letting
it sit idle
|
|
Improved Operational Efficiencies and Cost Reductions
|
|
Reduced manufacturing costs and fewer BOM/physical parts
|
|
No need to physically manufacture part

Providing 20 real‐time/time‐deterministic timers and 20 real-time threads, users
can edit the contents of a specified real‐time timer or a real‐time thread with
an editor. After building the contents of the timer and thread, users can utilize
the function library to build their own application under W32 sub‐system, but linked
to the real‐time thread and time‐deterministic timer which are executed under RTX
RTSS sub‐system.
