RTOS and Linux Are Defining In-Vehicle Computing – Together
7 PagesThis whitepaper explains how real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux work together to support modern in-vehicle computing. Different automotive applications have varying timing requirements, from non-critical tasks to safety-critical functions that require deterministic performance. Linux provides flexibility and scalability for general and soft real-time applications, while RTOS ensures precise, reliable execution for critical systems. By combining both through virtualization and hardware separation, automakers can optimize performance, safety, and cost. This hybrid approach is essential for supporting the increasing complexity of software-defined vehicles.
