Abstract:
Developing embedded control systems requires to have the possibility of analyzing and evaluating new control
algorithms before their implementation in the final system as well as their robust operation once implemented.
For that purpose, a generic platform composed by the hypervisor XtratuM and RTOS PaRTiKLe is introduced
in this paper. The interaction between the user and the process is generated by using Linux, while the realtime
execution of the process is ensured by PaRTiKLe. Moreover, hypervisor XtratuM provides the facilities
to execute several partitions with different guest OSs as well as the mechanisms to communicate PaRTiKLe
partition and the control environment. By means of this platform the performance of future partitioned embedded
systems are analyzed, evaluated and improved. Experimental tests are carried out in order to prove the
effectiveness of the system. The reported results show the good performance of the designed system and the
robustness of the platform.
