What is the difference between the embedded system and RTOS?
An RTOS is an important subset of an embedded system. (See RTOS explanation below) An embedded system has historically been defined as a single function product where the intelligence is embedded in the system. It could be anything from a dishwasher to a hearing aid, if that product includes a microprocessor and software. Many of today's embedded systems are looking more like PCs with user interfaces, touchscreens, displays, keypads and more. Still, these are not general function systems but are designed to perform very specific functions. The processor in these systems are also highly specialized. They are not, generally, the same processor you would find in a PC. A real-time operating system (RTOS) is intended for systems that need to tightly control responsiveness and performance. With an RTOS you can prioritize operations such that the most critical areas of the application get control of the processor exactly when they need it. All other lower priority operations are paused. An RTOS also gives you all of the other advantages of an OS: * a consistent coding platform * a rich set of APIs to save coding time and errors * processor housekeeping functions * hardware abstraction
What is RTOS?
RTOS stands for Real Time Operating System. Typically these are multi-tasking operating systems used in applications where microcontrollers are used to monitor and control embedded systems (e.g. telecom products). Examples include VxWorks, RTLinux.
Weather Rtos is necessary and not necessary in embedded system?
The choice to use a realtime operating system (RTOS) in an embedded system is very subjective. Some developers are more likely to use an RTOS than others would be. This might be because they are familiar with a particular system and very comfortable with implementing it. The advantages are that many components are already implemented and tested in an RTOS, such as time slicing, semaphores, and shared memory. Once a developer is familiar with the quirks of a particular operating system, it can save a lot of development time. The disadvantages can be higher runtime overhead, both in memory usage and execution speed (although this is not guaranteed). If a system is extremely complex, an RTOS is likely to be necessary. For simple systems, an RTOS probably makes the source code less readable and therefore less maintainable.
What Web servers work on a RTOS?
Web (HTTP) servers are not RTOS-dependent. They are part of the application layer of a TCP/IP stack. An embedded web server (such as the Quadnet web server offered by Quadros Systems) is licensed as an option for the underlying networking software.
Why embedded systems require rtos?
An RTOS is not required for an embedded system but it can offer powerful advantages to the system developer. Without an RTOS the developer must write his own code to handle all of these functions. Enables real-time, deterministic scheduling and task prioritization Abstracts away the complexities of the processor Provides a solid infrastructure constructed of rules and policies Simplifies development and improves developer productivity Integrates and manages resources needed by communications stacks and middleware Optimizes use of system resources Improves product reliability, maintainability and quality Promotes product evolution and scaling A well-architected RTOS will handle these functions much more efficiently that a programmer could write the code. RTOS developers are expert in how to handle operations with a minimum of processor cycles.

Is FPGA is used in mobiles?
Yes, FPGA is used in some ways in mobiles.
Which is faster fpga or cpld?
FPGA is sutiable for complicated arch than CPLD. CPLD is very tiny when compared to the logic of FPGA so CPLD is faster.

Advantages and disadvantages of rtos?
RTOS are well... realtime.It means that it is possible to create processes with strict time constraints (like : never more than 5ms delay, the "never" is the important part).The disadvantage is that it will try to meet these time constraints at all costs. Even if it means using less efficient algorithms and completely suspending less critical processes.Because they are often designed for embedded systems, RTOS are usually simpler and smaller than non-RT desktop OSes.
What are the rules to be followed by the interrupt routines in rtos?
1)an interrupt routine must not call any rtos function that bmight block the caller inthe future2)an interrupt routine may not call any rtos function that might cause rtos to switch task unless the rtos knows that an interrupt routine is not a task executive.
