10. Operating System Types for Real-Time and Embedded Applications

Real-time and embedded systems rely on specialized operating systems that cater to their unique timing and resource requirements. Key types include Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), which provide deterministic performance, Batch OS designed for sequential job processing, Time-Sharing OS for multitasking, and Distributed OS for coordinated operations. Selecting the appropriate OS involves considering factors such as performance needs, memory limitations, and functionality.
