I think you're right in general about the low level control Linux allows but from my experience more of this type of stuff requires Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS); sometimes the RTOS is working in conjunction with Linux. I'm sure part of this is that I have been isolated in the embedded applications I have seen. Either way, Linux is a big leap forward from the high level control of an iPhone or even Windows.Chris Gammellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589570976612842597noreply@blogger.com
