What is a type of specialized embedded OS that is typically used in devices such as programmable thermostats appliance controls and even spacecraft?

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system intended for real-time applications. Such applications include embedded systems (programmable thermostats, household appliance controllers), industrial robots, spacecraft, industrial control, and scientific research equipment.

What is embedded operating system with example?

An embedded system is a computer that supports a machine. It performs one task in the bigger machine. Examples include computer systems in cars, traffic lights, digital televisions, ATMs, airplane controls, point of sale (POS) terminals, digital cameras, GPS navigation systems, elevators and Smart meters.

How operating systems for embedded computers are very different from those for general systems?

The difference Unlike a desktop operating system, the embedded operating system does not generally load and execute individual applications at the user's request. It is designed for a single purpose, most commonly running a single 'shell' (launches straight into from boot, rather than to desktop) application.

What is an example of an embedded Linux OS?

One major example of an embedded Linux is Android, developed by Google. Android is based on a modified Linux kernel and released under an open source license, which allows manufacturers to modify it to suit their particular hardware. Other examples of embedded Linux include Maemo, BusyBox, and Mobilinux.
