RTOS in Embedded Systems
Comments focus on the use of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) like FreeRTOS, QNX, and VxWorks in embedded devices, debating their advantages over general-purpose OS like Linux, hardware compatibility, and open-source alternatives.

It's surprising they didn't pick a RTOS.
Yes and...? Neither Linux (normally) or MacOS an RTOS, what would he gain by switching to them?
You'd think some embedded proprietary RTOS would be ideal
Most likely a RTOS, not a real OS.
Thank god I've been privileged to not be forced into using commercial RTOSes
Is there anything fundamental in pi hardware that prevents putting a real time OS on it? (I'm not a hardware engineer)
I would not use Linux in something this pivotal. FreeRTOS or RTEMS would be my first candidates.
Why would a smartphone CPU preclude the use of an RTOS?
It's running on a proprietary RTOS.
Are there any open source real-time operating systems?
