Estoy experimentando con un pequeño y llamado kernel en tiempo real que, básicamente, no puede hacer nada más que contar para el próximo primo. Utiliza E / S accionada por interrupciones. Pero ¿por qué es un núcleo en tiempo real?
Leí que Linux se convirtió en un kernel en tiempo real en 2002, ¿es correcto?
Uso Altera DE2 y el código en el que lo estoy basando es 1 archivo de ensamblaje, 1 archivo de encabezado y 2 archivos C. Por favor, ayúdame a entender.
