Expertise in Real-Time Systems
At EDGEMTech,
we deliver deterministic, low-latency real-time solutions for embedded systems where timing guarantees are critical and non-negotiable.
Hard Real-Time Linux Expertise
We have strong expertise in hard real-time extensions for the Linux kernel, including:
- Xenomai
- EVL
- SO3 (developed at HEIG-VD)
- OpenCN (Open source framework for motion control developed at HEIG-VD)
These technologies allow Linux-based systems to meet strict real-time constraints while still benefiting from the rich Linux ecosystem. We help our customers select, integrate, and tune the right realtime approach based on latency, determinism, and system complexity.
Architecture for Embedded Real-Time Systems
Beyond technology integration, EDGEMTech designs robust software architectures for real-time embedded systems, addressing:
- Task partitioning between real-time and non-real-time domains
- Interrupt handling and latency optimization
- Scheduling strategies and priority management
- Safe interaction between user space, kernel space, and hardware
- Long-term maintainability and scalability
Our architectural approach ensures predictable system behavior even under heavy load or in complex multi-service environments.
Industrial-Grade Real-Time Applications
Our real-time expertise is applied to demanding domains such as:
- Industrial automation and control
- Robotics and motion control
- Transportation and railway systems
- Specialized measurement and monitoring devices
By combining deep kernel-level knowledge with clean system design, EDGEMTech enables customers to build reliable, deterministic, and future-proof real-time embedded platforms.
(REAL TIME) OPERATING SYSTEMS
Linux, FreeRTOS and ZephyOS are our favorite operating systems. They are robust and highly customizable for embedded devices.
Realtime capabilities are achieved through various configurations, including Xenomai/EVL extensions that enable hard real time in SMP and Asymmetric Multi-Processing (AMP).
