Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the requirements and specifications for the OpenComRTOS project from the point of view of its capabilities to support applications in meeting real-time requirements. As this is related to a distributed real-time operating system this is rather unique as most RTOS are designed for single processor systems and if not, they assume a shared memory architecture whereby the address space is global. OpenComRTOS on the other hand makes no such assumptions, but assumes that a processor has local memory and that the hardware allows to communicate somehow between the processors’ memory. It is a network model, but allowing to emulate it by shared memory if this is available. Hence the term “network-centric” RTOS. In this context, we also explain the CSP background that is still present in the conceptual design of OpenComRTOS.
