{{Main|Linux for embedded systems}}
There are actively maintained patches that transform the Linux kernel into a [[Real-time computing|real-time]] kernel. That way Linux kernel gained a wide adoption as a kernel for operating systems driving [[embedded systemssystem]]s. Minimally, such an operating system includes a more or less modified Linux kernel, [[uClibc|µClibc]] and [[BusyBox]].
 
A non-[[RTOS]] example, and at the same time a [[Linux distribution]], is [[OpenWrt]]. OpenWrt is intended to be employed on [[Customer-premises equipment|CPE]] devices like [[wireless router]]s. Another example is [[Rockbox]], an operating system for [[portable media player]]s based on [[μClinux]].
