Real-Time with Linux

Real-Time Determinism in a Linux Environment

Safety Critical, System Control and Security applications use the flexibility that Linux offers and need Real-Time Determinism to control hardware.

Designing a deterministic, Linux capable SoC requires a multi-dimensional approach needing architectural innovation, a coherent memory subsystem across cores and configurable branch
prediction capabilities.

PolarFire SoC features a multi-core Linux capable processor that is coherent with the memory subsystem allowing a versatile mix of deterministic real-time systems and Linux in a single multi-core CPU cluster.

PolarFire SoC enables you to create a fully deterministic real-time system alongside Linux that executes on-time every time.
