FSMLabs RTLinux V3 should be released Fall 2000. RTLinux V3 basically completes the lightweight POSIX threads/signal handlers API for hard realtime programming, includes ports to Alpha and PowerPC, and adds a user mode hard realtime signal handler facility. Coming up next is some optimizations, more ports, extensive work on a low memory footprint Linux, and extensions for new applications. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the project, look at some application areas and discuss future directions.
