The design and implementation of APIs are based on the POSIX standard. APIs are implemented in Rust and provide both Rust and C APIs with the same names. It takes into account the characteristics of ...

Issues with proprietary RTOS APIs. How does the POSIX pthread API stack up against proprietary APIs? Thread creation in POSIX. However, each proprietary API impedes embedded development by requiring ...

The eventfd implementation works nicely with the non-standard eventfd_read and eventfd_write functions. However, when trying to use the POSIX API read(2) or write(2), in blocking mode, it will end up ...

Every RTOS has its own proprietary API, but some also support the POSIX standards. Here's a look at the parts of POSIX that apply to real-time systems. In today's computing systems, it is becoming ...

We’ve all grown up in a world of digital filing cabinets. POSIX I/O has enabled code portability and extraordinary advances in computation, but it is limited by its design and the way it mirrors the ...

The kernel dispatcher and associated subsystems provide for the prioritization and scheduling of kernel threads in one of several bundled scheduling classes. The details of the implementation are ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOSes) provide a deterministic multitasking environment. Quite a number of them are available, and many have moved into the open-source realm. One of these is Eclipse ...
