A Comparison of Hard Real-Time Linux Alternatives – Interrupt Latency

We’ll be covering the interrupt latency of the hard real-time Linux alternatives. The interrupt latency is the time that elapses when an interrupt begins to where the interrupt source is serviced. Depending on the microprocessor design, interrupt masking, interrupt controllers and the OS’ interrupt handling, the latency can be affected. This work was done as

World’s First NativeDSP Linux Port

Softier has produced the first implementation of Linux that’s usable on a single-core digital signal processor (DSP). The company mentioned that its technology performs real-time encoding/decoding of DVD quality video at 30 frames per second while simultaneously being able to run Linux software on the side. The C54x DSP is the name of the DSP
