TimeSys Linux™ GPL is an enhanced, freely-available Linux distribution exclusively from TimeSys that fundamentally improves the standard Linux kernel by introducing true kernel preemptibility, delivering the lowest latency available, and improving real-time scheduling. TimeSys Linux GPL:
Uses sophisticated mutual exclusion preemption mechanisms rather than simple resource spinlocks.
Improves real-time scheduling.
Delivers the lowest-latency kernel available on the market for deterministic, low-latency response to application requests.
Supports schedulable interrupts and up to 2048 process priorities.
Provides complete control over applications, processes, and threads.
Affords robust, high-performance system operation and an open, portable execution and development environment.
TimeSys Linux is the ideal embedded Linux distribution, providing a complete, integrated development, debugging, and analysis environment. Systems architects and design engineers swear by TimeSys Linux to quickly design, develop, and deploy more robust, cost-effective embedded Linux solutions.
The TimeSys Linux Real-Time upgrade makes a full-featured RTOS of an open full Linux distribution with no change in application code, OS, or tools. And it’s royalty-free.
TimeSys Linux/Real-Time is a set of loadable performance modules that enhance TimeSys Linux by improving timer granularity to the system clock level, supporting priority inheritance and facilitating embedded and real-time application development. TimeSys Linux/Real-Time:
Consistently responds under any condition (even overload).
Provides fine-grained application and process/task management.
Affords an easy-to-use API for common real-time tasks, such as periodic process creation.
Eliminates priority inversion in real-time processes.
TimeSys Linux GPL and TimeSys Linux/Real-Time are key to developing applications quickly, cost-effectively, and with fast, predictable performance.
TimeSys Linux/CPU is a proprietary loadable performance module that further enhances the capabilities of TimeSys Linux/Real-Time, guaranteeing that sufficient processor time is available to run your most important applications. TimeSys Linux/CPU:
Protects critical applications against transient processor overloads.
Reserves a dedicated portion of your system’s processor time for critical applications.
Provides a simple Application Programming Interface (API) for managing CPU reservations.
TimeSys Linux/Net is a proprietary loadable performance module that further enhances the capabilities of TimeSys Linux/CPU, guaranteeing that sufficient resources are always available to satisfy the networking requirements of critical embedded or real-time applications, even in overloaded systems. TimeSys Linux/Net:
Guarantees network bandwidth for critical applications.
Uses a separate network buffer pool to isolate the networking requirements of critical applications from the rest of your system.
Provides a simple Application Programming Interface (API) for managing network reservations.
TimeSys provides a full spectrum of tools for cross-platform development, debugging, modeling, and analysis. These flexible, off-the-shelf, Windows®-based tools include:
TimeStorm™ -- An integrated development environment (IDE) for cross-platform embedded and real-time development, download, and debugging of C/C++ programs. TimeStorm:
Provides a single, coherent interface for all of your embedded and real-time development projects.
Protects your development efforts from dependence on a single target platform through modular cross-compilers and tools.
Lets your developers work using a familiar Windows development environment.
TimeTrace® -- A profiling environment that provides detailed debugging and analysis capabilities that enable you to quickly and easily pinpoint problems and develop solutions. TimeTrace:
Provides an easy-to-understand graphical display of Linux threads, processes, and their interaction.
Simplifies debugging and problem area identification.
Serves as a central network control and monitoring station for any TimeSys Linux application that is available on the network.
Provides snapshot capabilities to simplify performance comparisons, problem analysis, and debugging.
TimeWiz® -- An architectural prototyping, modeling, analysis, and simulation environment that gives you confidence in your designs before you implement code or invest in additional hardware and software. TimeWiz:
Helps you find time constraints and similar requirements during the design phase.
Facilitates “what-if” analysis without writing and debugging platform-specific code.
Integrates with TimeTrace to help analyze and resolve timing problems in existing applications.
Standardized Development: One of TimeSys’s major investments in support of this product strategy is in the creation and operation of an SDK factory, bringing many manufacturers to market with a Linux SDK for their boards in record time. Your project is the winner.
TimeSys Linux is the only embedded Linux distribution that provides certified, off-the-shelf products tailored for the most popular embedded development and reference boards in the industry. The TimeSys SDK Factory™ building board-specific software development kits (SDKs) quickly gets TimeSys Linux running on your hardware, providing a complete, certified Linux development environment. TimeSys offers more than 40 SDKs – over 20 different processors within seven unique processor architectures. TimeSys SDKs provide:
Certified, high performance Linux optimized for your target board.
Complete native and cross-compilation tools that work on the board and on your desktop.
Easy integration with TimeSys modeling, development, and analysis tools.
Fundamental improvements to Linux:
A completely preemptible Linux kernel
Control over interrupt handling and processing
Enhanced scheduling and time accounting procedures
Optional, industrial-strength extensions that can guarantee the availability of CPU and network resources for critical processes – without changing a line of your existing code.
TimeSys can manage every aspect of board development from start to finish, including driver development, testing, and certification. If you have proprietary hardware, we can port and validate the TimeSys Linux kernel and device drivers for you. Alternatively, you can develop the drivers and leave the test and certification to us.
TimeSys also partners with hardware vendors to provide the custom SDK that’s right for your application. TimeSys Linux will always be tailored specifically to your hardware.
TimeSys Linux gives you all of the benefits of generic Linux but provides the enhancements, certification, support, and disciplined development approach that only a real products company can deliver.
