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.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant l'exécution concurrente de plusieurs systèmes d'exploitation différents sur un même calculateur RISC, notamment à processeur ARM. A cet effet, on commence par sélectionner un premier système d'exploitation devant avoir une priorité relativement élevée (le système d'exploitation temps réel tel que le C5). On sélectionne ensuite au moins un système d'exploitation devant avoir une priorité relativement inférieure (le système d'exploitation banalisé tel que Linux). On fournit un programme commun (un répartiteur de ressources matérielles semblable à un nano-noyau) agencé pour faire les basculements entre lesdits systèmes d'exploitation dans des conditions définies. Enfin, on réalise des modifications touchant le premier et le deuxième des systèmes d'exploitation de façon à leur permettre une exécution sous la commande dudit programme commun.
