World first full OSEK OS 2.2
certification
Realogy Real-Time Architect is the world's first real-time operating system to achieve full OSEK OS 2.2 certification for every conformance class, as well as the OSEK COM classes CCCA and CCCB.
Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) from LiveDevices is the world's first real-time operating system to achieve full OSEK OS 2.2 certification for every conformance class, as well as the OSEK COM classes CCCA and CCCB By achieving RTA OSEK 2.2 certification, LiveDevices continues to demonstrate its leadership in developing innovative OSEK/VDX standard-based solutions for the automotive industry

Automotive RTOS cuts hardware overkill
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).
RTOS automatically creates internal resources
LiveDevices has released version 3.1 of its world-class Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) featuring the SSX5 real-time operating system (RTOS).
Each OSEK conformance class provides a progressively greater level of feature availability and flexibility.
By supporting all the conformance classes, LiveDevices' RTA provides entirely scalable, OSEK OS 2.2 certified support for RTOSs that need to run on the most memory and processor-restricted hardware, to those that are required to be much more feature-rich and flexible.
This scalability extends beyond giving engineers the ability to choose the most suitable conformance class for any one application, it allows the features and flexibility of different conformance classes to be used within a single application, thus optimising the resource overhead.

Compact Dynamics has used LiveDevices' Realogy Real-Time Architect (RTA) and Embedinet solutions to realise a production version of its new Internet-enabled MTA system.
Development for embedded Internet applications
LiveDevices has launched its Embedinet Pro SDK to accelerate the development of low-cost embedded Internet solutions for the data telemetry, home appliance and automotive markets.
For example, if an engineer was designing a ten task system, and two of the tasks required extended task capability, RTA's scaleable architecture means that only the two extended tasks pay the overhead associated with the extended task functionality.
This scaleable philosophy embodied throughout RTA enables resource usage to be minimized and production costs to be optimised.
The RTA Time Compiler also exploits the OSEK 2.2 standard's support for internal resources.
RTA is unique in being able to automatically create internal resources and allocate tasks and use those resources without compromising any real-time deadlines.
This can produce significant savings in the amount of RAM required for the stack of typically between 50 and 85%.
Charlie Edgington, CEO, LiveDevices commented, "This is yet another milestone for LiveDevices.
With the fantastic optimisation that can be gained by using RTA's Time Compiler in conjunction with the new features of the OSEK 2.2 standard, like Internal Resources, developers should be demanding the new OSEK v2.2 standard".
OSEK/VDX is a family of standards developed by the automotive industry to produce open systems interface for vehicle electronics.
Standards in the OSEK family include: OSEK OS (operating system), OIL (offline configuration language) and ORTI (run-time interface), which provides debuggers with information about the internal state of the operating system.
The motivation of OSEK is to reduce the high recurring costs in the automotive industry of developing and redeveloping ECU software, particularly the costs of non application-specific parts of software.
A set of commercial off-the-shelf products to do this allows ECU manufacturers to outsource non-core work and so obtain overall cost reductions.
