Abstract: A method of enabling multiple different operating systems to run concurrently on the same RISC computer, comprising selecting a first operating system to have a relatively high priority (the realtime operating system, such as C5); selecting at least one secondary operating system to have a relatively lower priority (the general purpose operating system, such as Linux); providing a common program (a hardware resource dispatcher similar to a nanokernel) arranged to switch between said operating systems under predetermined conditions; and providing modifications to said first and second operating systems to allow them to be controlled by said common program.

Abstract: Multiple different operating systems are enabled to run concurrently on the same computer. A first operating system is selected to have a relatively high priority (the realtime operating system, such as C5). At least one secondary operating system is selected to have a relatively lower priority (the general purpose operating system, such as Linux). A common program (a hardware resource dispatcher similar to a nanokernel) is arranged to switch between these operating systems under predetermined conditions and modifications are provided to the first and second operating systems to allow them to be controlled by the common program.

Abstract: A method of enabling multiple different operating systems to run concurrently on the same RISC (e.g. ARM) computer, comprising selecting a first operating system to have a relatively high priority (the realtime operating system, such as C5); selecting at least one secondary operating system to have a relatively lower priority (the general purpose operating system, such as Linux); providing a common program (a hardware resource dispatcher similar to a nanokernel) arranged to switch between said operating systems under predetermined conditions; and providing modifications to said first and second operating systems to allow them to be controlled by said common program.
