I guess you're not aware of realtime extensions to Linux. Still, I've not checked up on this recently and they could have very well went with something like Vertex, QNX, or other hardcore RTOS. Then again, some are using Linux in mil spec aviation so don't count generic Linux as the only way to use Linux for realtime applications. IIRC, LynuxWorks is the one who had their stuff validated and used. There's alot of Linux getting used in embedded mil-type hardware. There are lots of options available depending on how 'real time' you need to be. Doug -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
