Do most embedded projects need an RTOS? It's a good question. The answer lies in the very nature of embedded devices. Devices that, in many cases, are manufactured in the thousands, or millions, of units. Devices where even a $1 reduction in per-unit hardware costs can save the manufacturer a small...

Harsh and mission-critical applications have a set of requirements all their own, such as environmental stresses and extreme temperatures, that typically precluded the use of Computer-on-Modules (COMs) in these environments. However, an improved COM standard geared specifically for rugged applicat...
