Case Study
Herschel & Planck
RTEMS Tailoring and Qualification
Challenge
- Ensure the RTOS meets the budget for the on-board computer
- Reduce and optimise memory footprint of the basic software
Solution
- Tailoring of the RTEMS, removing unused code and unnecessary RTEMS functions
- Qualification of the final result to ensure fulfillment of requirements
- Deployment of expert team to support integration testing
Benefit
- Tailor-made RTEMS, optimised to missions' on-board computer
- Minimal memory footprint
- Bugs discoverd and corrected during qualification campaign and shared with the RTEMS open source community
