Patent-Free Approach to Real-Time Free Systems

Karin Kosina writes: "Real-time Free Software solutions are moving forward with the first release of ADEOS, a hardware abstraction layer allowing a real-time kernel and a general purpose kernel to co-exist. RTAI will eventually use ADEOS services, thus offering a real-time kernel based on a principle clearly different from the 5,995,745 US Patent. Read the official press release by Philippe Gerum, Karim Yaghmour, Paolo Mantegazza et al. for details."

Interesting work...

Plus its just damn cool to have nanokernels to show up those microkernel snobs. If the kernels get any smaller, they will be subject to noticeable quantum effects. It will be a little unnerving if my operating system dissolves into a cloud of possible states every time I turn my back.

Linus trolls

I can't wait for Linus to flame this realtime nanokernel. I mean, considering how much he trolls about microkernels, he'll be off da hizzook trolling about these damn nanokernelz.
