About RK0

Today, many real-time kernels for constrained embedded devices promise ambitious features: sophisticated abstractions, comprehensive security features, and extensive portability—often within extremely tight resource constraints. While these approaches have their merits in certain contexts, they can inadvertently introduce complexity, overhead, and hidden challenges.

Designed explicitly for constrained embedded scenarios, RK0 deliberately avoids real-time anti-patterns associated with unnecessary complexity.

RK0 allows the system programmer do dial-in: from day 0 it has been designed unwilling to compromise deterministic behaviour. What you build is what you run.

It is for those fueled by the craft.
