This paper outlines an approach to using a number of known Linux[] technologies to deliver a highly configurable, scalable, and virtualized Linux environment that includes a very low overhead run-time capability that can match bare-machine and/or RTOS performance.

An entry-level board uses virtualization[] to consolidate general purpose and real-time applications – reliably and securely – thereby reducing product cost, design complexity and time to market.

Migration into multicore[] platforms is imminent for a majority of real-time and embedded (RTE) systems, including handheld devices for fourth-generation wireless networks. This case study illustrates an efficient model-based development of a light version of an LTE handset, including the underlying protocol stack.
