Measure the timing that matters
Define task priorities, deadlines, interrupt response and resource budgets, then measure behavior on the selected processor, board, drivers and representative workload.
ESL OS RT / Real-Time Platform
Real-time systems engineered for safety-focused products.
ESL OS RT brings real-time operating-system integration, board support, timing analysis and security lifecycle planning together around your product requirements and target hardware.
Discuss an ESL OS RT project
Timing, boundaries and lifecycle
Build the platform around the system requirements.
Real-time behavior and safety assurance depend on the complete system, not the kernel alone. ESL works with product teams to connect application timing, hardware capabilities, failure handling, verification and maintenance into a scoped engineering plan.
Design for faults and safe states
Assess watchdogs, interlocks, supervisory logic, recovery paths and hardware or software separation against the product hazard analysis and system safety concept.
Maintain visibility after release
Plan component inventory, SBOM generation, vulnerability assessment, controlled update decisions and change-impact review as part of product maintenance.
Translate product needs
Agree on timing targets, safety constraints, hardware, interfaces, applicable standards and evidence expectations.
Assemble the platform
Integrate the selected RT kernel, board support, drivers, application interfaces and security controls for the target.
Test and document
Validate timing, fault handling, updates and release artifacts on representative hardware, with results traceable to agreed requirements.
Planning a deterministic or safety-focused embedded system?
Talk with ESLESL OS RT / Assurance planning
Evidence and compliance are product-specific.
Start with the product’s intended use, hazards, threat model and market requirements. Map platform engineering, verification, change control and maintenance evidence to the manufacturer’s development and regulatory processes.
Set the assurance scope
Identify product risks, safety boundaries, security goals, timing constraints and the responsibilities of the manufacturer and engineering partners.
Trace tests to requirements
Plan target-level timing, interface, fault-response and regression tests. Record results and limitations against the agreed system requirements.
Control product changes
Track platform components, vulnerability dispositions, update decisions and change impact across maintenance releases and the product’s support plan.
Standards note
Depending on product, market and intended use, project inputs may include IEC 62304, IEC 60601-1-8, IEC 81001-5-1, ISO 14971, ISO 13485 or applicable regulatory guidance. These are considerations for project scoping, not a claim that ESL OS RT is certified, compliant, or approved. The manufacturer owns regulatory determinations and product conformity.
