Ardence Embedded OEM Development Platform Ardence, a Citrix Company, has embedded solutions that include RTX, ETS and ReadyOn. RTX is a real-time solution that enhances the control of Windows®, providing greater flexibility and reliability. ETS is the smallest-footprint Win32 real-time operating system in the market, and ReadyOn provides instant-on functionality for Windows® devices.
Demonstrating Software Reliability
The terms ''Reliability'', ''High Availability'' and ''Carrier Grade'' have become common in the context of communications equipment in particular, and the broader context of Embedded Systems as a whole.
In many cases, the terms are used synonymously, which is confusing as they are quite distinct.
In addition, systems engineers tend to be very comfortable in dealing with the reliability of Hardware (in terms of MTBF and MTTR). Software is not so mature in the field of measured reliability.
This is a cause for concern, as Software is the cause of at least as many system failures as Hardware!

Implementing Device Drivers - Migrating from Linux to a Microkernel OS
Recent market developments around IP ownership have prompted many companies to investigate the possibility of migrating their Linux code to a commercial-grade operating system.
This paper describes a case study that examines the scope of the effort involved in migrating device driver code developed for a 'monolithic' OS such as Linux to a microkernel OS such as the QNX Neutrino realtime OS (RTOS). A primary goal of the study was to provide...

Real Time or Real Linux? A Realistic Alternative
In this paper, we look at an alternate approach - using a POSIX-based RTOS designed specifically for embedded systems - that not only allows Linux developers to keep their programming model, but also maintains the key advantages of Linux's open source model.
