This paper implements dual-kernel system using standard Linux and real-time embedded Linux for the real-time control of intelligent robot systems. Such system provides more useful services including standard Linux thread that is easy to implement complicated tasks and real-time tasks for the deterministic response to velocity control. Here, an open source real-time embedded Linux, XENOMAI, is ported on embedded target board. And for interfacing with motor controller we adopted a real-time serial device driver. The real-time task was implemented with a priority to keep the cyclic control command for trajectory control. In order to validate deterministic response of the proposed system, the performance measurement of the delay in performing trajectory control with feedback loop is evaluated with non real-time standard Linux. The proposed software architecture is anticipated to take advantage of features in both standard Linux and real-time operating systems for the intelligent robot systems.

The SoC and digital technology development recently enabled the emergence of information devices and control devices because the SoC present many advantages such as lower power consumption, greater reliability, and lower cost. It is required to use an embedded operating system for building control systems. So far, the Real-Time operating system is widely used to implement a Real-Time system since it meets developer's requirements. However, Real-Time operating systems reveal a lack of standards, expensive development, and license costs. Embedded Linux is able to overcome these disadvantages. In this paper, the implementation of control system platform using Real-Time Embedded Linux is described. As a control system platform, we use XScale of a Soc and build Real-Time control platform using RTAI and Real-Time device driver. Finally, we address the feasibility study of the Real-Time Embedded Linux as a Real-Time operating system for mobile robots.

The SoC and digital technology development recently enabled the emergence of information devices and control devices because the SoC presents many advantages such like lower power consumption, greater reliability, and lower cost. However, it is nearly impossible to use the SoC without operating systems because the SoC is included with many peripherals and complex architecture. It is required to use embedded operating systems and real-time operating systems may be used as an embedded operating system. So far, real-time operating systems are widely used to implement a Real-Time system since it meets developer's requirements. However, real-time operating systems have disadvantages including a lack of standards, expensive development, and license. Embedded Linux is able to overcome their disadvantages. In this paper, the implementation of control system platform for a mobile robot using real-time Embedded Linux is described. As a control hardware system platform, XScale board is used. As the real-time Embedded Linux, RTAI is adopted which is open source and royalty free, and supports various architectures and real-time devices, such like real-time CAN and real-time COM. This paper shows the implementation of RTAI on XScale board that means the porting procedure. We also applied the control system platform to the mobile robot and compared the Real-Time serial driver with non real-time serial driver. Experimental results show that that using RTAI is useful to build real-time control system with powerful functionalities of Linux.

The Embedded Linux System has been developed as a system which can be used with a processor of low efficiency and small-sized memory. Unlike the usual Linux and Windows web server, it has some limitations in the install of application programs, compatibility and scalability when transferring data through web server in real-time. In this paper, we present a real-time remote monitoring system which is very useful to the embedded linux system. The presented system use Java Script without the additional programs at the Embedded Linux System web server and confirm the efficiency of the system through the existing real-time remote monitoring techniques.

An implementation scheme and some improvements are proposed to adopt public-licensed operating system, Linux and de-facto world-wide network standard, TCP/IP into the field of behavior-based autonomous mobile robots. To demonstrate the needs of scheme and the improvement, an analysis is performed on a server/client communication problem with real time Linux previously proposed, and another analysis is also performed on interactions among TCP/IP communications and the performance of Linux system using them. Implementation of behavior-based control architecture on real time Linux is proposed firstly. Revised task-scheduling schemes are proposed that can enhance the performance of server/client communication among local tasks on a Linux platform. A new method of TCP/IP packet flow handling is proposed that prioritizes TCP/IP software interrupts with aperiodic server mechanism as well. To evaluate the implementation scheme and the proposed improvements, performance enhancements are shown through some simulations.

Currently many sensors and processing data in a robot based on USN environments need to real-time features. In this paper, we examine recent research trends on real-time operating systems, especially on real-time embedded Linux, RTAI and Xenomai, for intelligent robots. Xenomai is a real-time development framework and have special feature supporting RTAI, VxWorks, pSOS+ etc. through the "skin". This research gives a guide to researcher in using real-time embedded Linux in the sense of architecture, supporting real-time mechanisms, kinds of real-time device driver, performances.

최근 multimedia와 network 분야의 발달로 embedded system에서도 multimedia 정보를 처리하거나 network를 접속하는 기능들이 포함되고 있다. 따라서 system이 더욱 복잡해지고 기존의 방법과는 다른 새로운 접근 방법이 필요하게 되었다 일반 computer system에서 쓰이는 것과는 달리 대부분의 embedded system은 real-time이라는 특성을 만족시켜야 했기 때문에 나오게 된 것이 바로 real-time system이다. 본 논문에서는 real-time embedded web-server system을 구현하기 위해 strong-arm board에 Linux로 web-server를 구축하고 kernel을 재구성하였다.

첨단 군사 체계를 위한 측정 장치의 필요성에 따라 낮은 지연을 추구하는 실시간 특성인 시간 결정성과 수행의 정확성은 매우 중요해 졌으며, 이러한 이유로 리눅스와 같은 범용 운영체제에 실시간 기능을 추가하는 시장 요구가 증대하게 되었다. 따라서 RTLinux와 RTAI가 리눅스기반의 이중 커널로 개발되었다. RT-Linux의 경우 경성 실시간성을 제공하지만 어셈블러를 사용해야함으로 개발자가 다루기 어려운 단점이 존재한다. 또한 RTAI의 경우 연성 실시간성만을 제공하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 RTiK-Linux를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스에 경성 실시간 특징을 가지며 새로운 이중 커널 구조인 실시간 이식 커널인 RTiK-Linux를 제안한다. 먼저 관련 연구에 대한 소개를 하고, 타이머 설정 값과 거의 일치하는 분해능을 보장하는 설계 방법론을 기술한다. 그리고 경험적 측정으로 얻어진 결과를 보이고, 제안하는 RTiK-Linux를 검증 및 평가하기 위하여 그 결과를 분석한다.

In Linux, real-time tasks are supported by separating real-time task priorities from non-real-time task priorities. However, this separation of priority ranges may not be effective when real-time tasks make the system calls that are taken care of by the kernel threads. Thus, Linux is considered a soft real-time system. Moreover, kernel threads are configured to have static priorities for throughputs. The static assignment of priorities to kernel threads causes trouble for real-time tasks when real-time tasks require kernel threads to be invoked to handle the system calls because kernel threads do not discriminate between real-time and non-real-time tasks. We present a dynamic kernel thread scheduling mechanism with weighted average priority inheritance protocol (PIP), a variation of the PIP. The scheduling algorithm assigns proper priorities to kernel threads at runtime by monitoring the activities of user-level real-time tasks. Experimental results show that the algorithms can greatly improve the unexpected execution latency of real-time tasks.

In this research, we port the RT-Linux to MVME 5100 board which is driven by VxWorks or Vertex until now. And, we developed the data logging modules by using the RT-Linux. This module gathers two different scan timing data from plant and sends this data to the host controller with real time.
