Why POSIX for embedded systems?

A common problem with realtime application development is that each realtime OS tends to come

equipped with its own proprietary API. In the absence of industry standards, this isn't an unusual state

for a competitive marketplace to evolve into, since surveys of the realtime marketplace regularly show

heavy use of in-house proprietary operating systems. POSIX represents a chance to unify this

marketplace.

Among the many POSIX standards, those of most interest to embedded systems developers are:

• 1003.1—defines the API for process management, device I/O, filesystem I/O, and basic IPC. This

encompasses what might be described as the base functionality of a UNIX OS, serving as a useful

standard for many applications. From a C-language programming perspective, ANSI X3J11 C is

assumed as a starting point, and then the various aspects of managing processes, files, and tty

devices are detailed beyond what ANSI C specifies.

• Realtime Extensions—defines a set of realtime extensions to the base 1003.1 standard. These

extensions consist of semaphores, prioritized process scheduling, realtime extensions to signals,

high-resolution timer control, enhanced IPC primitives, synchronous and asynchronous I/O, and a

recommendation for realtime contiguous file support.

• Threads—further extends the POSIX environment to include the creation and management of

multiple threads of execution within a given address space.

• Additional Realtime Extensions—defines further extensions to the realtime standard. Facilities

such as attaching interrupt handlers are described.

• Application Environment Profiles—defines several AEPs (Realtime AEP, Embedded Systems AEP,

etc.) of the POSIX environment to suit different embedded capability sets. These profiles represent

embedded OSs with/without filesystems and other capabilities.

For information about the many POSIX drafts and standards, see the IEEE website at

http://www.ieee.org/.

Apart from any “bandwagon” motive for adopting industry standards, there are several specific

advantages to applying the POSIX standard to the embedded realtime marketplace:

Multiple OS sources

Hardware manufacturers are loath to choose a single-sourced hardware component because

of the risks implied if that source discontinues production. For the same reason,

manufacturers shouldn't be tied to a single-sourced, proprietary OS simply because their

application source code isn't portable to other OSs.

By building applications to the POSIX standards, developers can use OSs from multiple

vendors. Application source code can be readily ported from platform to platform and from

OS to OS, provided that developers avoid using OS-specific extensions.

Portability of development staff

Using a common API for embedded development, programmers experienced with one realtime

OS can directly apply their skill sets to other projects involving other processors and operating

systems. In addition, programmers with UNIX or POSIX experience can easily work on

Microkernel architecture

Buzzwords often fall in and out of fashion. Vendors tend to enthusiastically apply the buzzwords of the

day to their products, whether the terms actually fit or not.

The term “microkernel” has become fashionable. Although many new operating systems are said to

be “microkernels” (or even “nanokernels”), the term may not mean very much without a clear definition.

Let's try to define the term. A microkernel OS is structured as a tiny kernel that provides the minimal

services used by a team of optional cooperating processes, which in turn provide the higher-level OS

functionality. The microkernel itself lacks filesystems and many other services normally expected of

an OS; those services are provided by optional processes.

The real goal in designing a microkernel OS is not simply to “make it small.” A microkernel OS embodies

a fundamental change in the approach to delivering OS functionality. Modularity is the key, size is but

a side effect. To call any kernel a “microkernel” simply because it happens to be small would miss

the point entirely.

Since the IPC services provided by the microkernel are used to “glue” the OS itself together, the

performance and flexibility of those services govern the performance of the resulting OS. With the

exception of those IPC services, a microkernel is roughly comparable to a realtime executive, both in

terms of the services provided and in their realtime performance.

The microkernel differs from an executive in how the IPC services are used to extend the functionality

of the kernel with additional, service-providing processes. Since the OS is implemented as a team of

cooperating processes managed by the microkernel, user-written processes can serve both as applications

and as processes that extend the underlying OS functionality for industry-specific applications. The

OS itself becomes “open” and easily extensible. Moreover, user-written extensions to the OS won't

affect the fundamental reliability of the core OS.

A difficulty for many realtime executives implementing the POSIX 1003.1 standard is that their runtime

environment is typically a single-process, multiple-threaded model, with unprotected memory between

threads. Such an environment is only a subset of the multi-process model that POSIX assumes; it

cannot support the fork() function. In contrast, QNX Neutrino fully utilizes an MMU to deliver the

complete POSIX process model in a protected environment.

As the following diagrams show, a true microkernel offers complete memory protection, not only for

user applications, but also for OS components (device drivers, filesystems, etc.):
