    A Comparison Between Freertos and Rtlinux in Embedded Real-Time Systems

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Moufti
    FreeRTOS has a much smaller kernel size (4.4 kilobytes) and lower RAM usage (200 bytes) compared to RTLinux which requires a few megabytes for both. While RTLinux supports more architectures like x86 and scales from small to large systems, FreeRTOS supports a greater number of smaller microcontroller platforms through portable code contained in just three files but is harder to scale beyond its intended platform size. Both use priority-based schedulers, but FreeRTOS additionally uses round robin for fair time sharing between same priority tasks.

    A comparison between FreeRTOS and RTLinux

    in embedded real-time systems


    Comparison on Size

    RTLinux FreeRTOS

    • Kernel Size • Kernel Size


    – Few megabytes – About 4.4 kilobytes
    • RAM required • RAM required
    – Over few megabytes – About 200 bytes
    Platform support
    RTLinux
    • supports architectures like x86
    • much more complex (much due to the Linux kernel)
    – harder to port to new platforms.

    FreeRTOS
    • smaller microcontrollers
    • Support a greater number of platforms
    – portable code
    – all kernel code is contained in just three files
    Features and Scalability
    RTLinux
    • Provide all the things that a normal Linux distribution can.

    • Down toARM. Upwards to full grown "home computer systems".

    FreeRTOS
    • Provide only basic features.
    – only some basic scheduling
    – inter-process communication (IPC)
    – semaphores for synchronization
    • Hard to scale beyond the target of the platform.
    Scheduler
    RTLinux
    • Asimple insmod gives the possibility to change
    scheduler.
    – a basic highest priority first scheduler.
    – earliest deadline first

    FreeRTOS
    • a highest priority first scheduler.
    • same priority tasks is given "fair" process time by
    round robin.
