LiveDevices reckons its Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) version 3.0 is the automotive industry's first fully analysable, deterministic OSEK-compliant real-time operating system (RTOS).

LiveDevices reckons its Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) version 3.0 is the automotive industry's first fully analysable, deterministic OSEK-compliant real-time operating system (RTOS) RTA enables software developers to build quality and timing correctness into a new electronic control unit (ECU) when adopting an RTOS, rather than trying to test faults out

It can also be used to accurately identify stack requirements and CPU usage needed to implement a specific application.

This determinism ensures that manufacturers can support the maximum number of features using the minimum amount of processing power.

As result, they can significantly reduce their bill of materials for a new ECU, helping to increase profit margins over the car's lifespan.
