Note: RTLinux is a trademark owned by Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND) and is no longer a trademark of FSMLabs, which retains license to the technology for the Enterprise markets. FSMLabs real-time operating system is currently called Enterprise RealTime and is not the same as the product sold by Wind River Systems.
Tim Kaiser, WIN-T Software IPT Lead, Harris
At Harris we have used FSMLabs’ RTLinux on two product versions of our Highband Network Waveform and Mobile Ad Hoc radio. The first version ran in a single board Pentium configuration. The follow on product runs off Dual Power PC and Quad Power PC configurations. The waveform is Ad Hoc, self forming and uses RTTimeSync to produce a 20+ Mbit/sec user throughput. This radio technology has been through a highly successful Demonstration Test - Operational Test evaluation at customer test sites. It has been enthusiastically perceived as the answer to tactical radio communications. The real time kernel provided by the RTLinux product provided deterministic timing down to microsecond granularity that is critical to the success of the waveform. The threading process allowed us to use the multiple processors concurrently to meet system performance. FSMLabs’ product has been a solid platform to develop and field within our product radio. Their support of the operating system has been top notch.
Joel Darnold Senior MTS Sandia National Labs
We began incorporating RTLinux into our systems about four years ago and have experienced outstanding performance and reliability. Two of our mission critical systems have now been successfully deployed and much of our success can be directly attributed to FSMLabs’ product and outstanding support.
Jason Redi, Director R&D of Mobile Networking, BBN
At BBN we have been using FSMLabs’ RTLinuxPro for many years for our wireless MAC protocol efforts. RTLinux provides the rock-solid thread switching times and perfect reliability that we need to build high performance software for next generation wireless networking. When combined with the familiar Linux environment and tools, we have a hard-real-time kernel that is exactly right for building high speed wireless.
Robert Krohn, Senior Director Platform Engineering, Juniper Networks
FSMLabs RTCore technology gave us a low risk modular path to add hard real-time processing. PSDD provided high speed real-time within the protected memory of UNIX process. FSMLabs support is technically solid and very responsive.
Richard Bond, principal real-time specialist (ret.), Lockheed Martin
RTLinuxPro and PSDD enabled simple simulation frame work allowed me the choice to develop user-level I/O drivers, and provided outstanding performance.
Dean Anneser, Software Engineering Fellow, Pratt & Whitney
RTLinux provides a very cost effective scalable multi-platform solution (x86/ppc) for our simulation, control, and data acquisition systems. This toolset is used extensively with software developed by Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand for the development and testing of electronic engine controls and control of engine test facilities. PSDD with RTLinux provides the two capabilities essential for our application: user-mode frame based scheduling across multiple CPU’s, and the ability of one process to easily read/write user variables in another process.
