Abstract

RealBOX is a PC104 form factor computer based on a 486DX2 processor with 8MB RAM and 8MB Disk-On-Chip Millenium. MiniRTL operating system boots from Disk-On-Chip and expands itself to RAM when the power is applied to the box. Our initial aim and the motivation behind our work was to have an embedded system with the following critical requirements which were fullfiled:

• … real-time scheduler
• operation without HardDisk.
• small foot-print (so a solid state memory preferably the Disk-on-Chip)
• no file system checks when power goes off and come again

We are using the realBOX in our data acquisition and control applications and planning to utilize it for airborne control projects. We are late a little bit to submit this abstract but we strongly hopeful that you will pay attention to our work.
