{{Short description|none}}

This is a list of [[real-time operating system]]s. An RTOS is an [[operating system]] in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.

This is a list of [[real-time operating system]]s (RTOSs). This is an [[operating system]] in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.

<!-- Reliable sources are always needed. and anyAny content without such is subject to removal.

Please:

Please add citations for any RTOS that does not have its own article.

Add citations for any RTOS that lacks its own article.

Please keep table entries brief.

Keep table entries brief.

In each table, for each term, link one instance only, usually the 1st, remove other WP:OVERLINK(s).

In each table, for each term, link one instance only, usually the 1st, remove other WP:REPEATLINK(s).

Thank you!
