Welcome to the final post of this three-part series on real-time Linux. As market adoption of real-time computing continues to rise, real-time in the Linux kernel is emerging as a valuable solution on the software side. A real-time Linux kernel on its own, however, will not necessarily make a system real-time.   We clarified this

Embedded World is almost here! With 930+ exhibitors, 200 nonstop hours of knowledge sharing, and an exciting programme structured along 9 tracks with 60+ sessions and 18 classes, Embedded World is the must-attend global event for the embedded community. Join Canonical at Booth 4-600 in Hall 4 to discuss secure open-source adoption for IoT

Welcome to this three-part mini-series on real-time Linux. In Part I, we set the stage for the remainder of the series by defining a real-time system, and went through common misconceptions.  We also covered the broad market applications of a real-time Linux kernel.  Several applications across a wide range of use cases and verticals requ

Welcome to this three-part blog series on real-time Linux.  Throughout the series, we will assess the key features of a real-time system. We will understand how a real-time capable Linux kernel differs from mainline, and touch upon the performance trade-offs you should consider when choosing real-time versus a low-latency kernel, for inst

Real-time Ubuntu brings end-to-end security and reliability to the time-bound workloads of modern enterprises. With support for real-time compute, Canonical furthers its commitment to providing a best-in-class experience for open-source software consumption. 14 February 2023, London: Canonical today announced the general availability of R

Welcome to the December edition of the monthly State of IoT series. While we ended 2021 with a rosy outlook prompted by rising unit shipments and hardware spending, 2022 ended amidst supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions and an ongoing war. Despite this, we will likely remember 2022 as a transitional year in the ever-increasing ado

Enterprises are looking to capitalise on the new wave of small form-factor computing and navigate the shift to the edge. Device manufacturers across the world are racing to build embedded, connected devices that will deliver on the promise of the fourth industrial revolution.  Many of them are looking to explore data-driven value-chain op

The optimised Ubuntu images target industrial computing on next-gen Intel SoCs 15 November 2022: Canonical announced today the availability of new enterprise-grade Ubuntu images designed for next-gen Intel IoT platforms. Purpose-built for industrial environments and use cases, the latest Ubuntu images on Intel hardware deliver the perform

Welcome to the concluding blog of this mini-series on tapping into the fourth industrial revolution.  In Part I, we introduced and assessed the current status in the IT and OT domains. In Part II, we discussed the automation pyramid of modern factories and the need to adopt a more holistic approach toward closing the divide. 

Welcome to Part II of this three-part mini-series on bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) in Industry 4.0. In Part I, we set the stage for the remainder of the series and gave an overview of IT and OT, the two technological layers of modern industrial factories. In this blog,

Welcome to this three-part mini-series on bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) in Industry 4.0. Throughout this series, we will discuss the key challenges industrial manufacturers face when trying to accelerate their digital transformation. We will understand why legacy update approaches and

The workshop The Intel and Canonical Developer workshop is coming up soon in Madrid, on September 22, and we are looking for IoT enthusiasts to join us! Don’t miss the chance to learn about EdgeX and Ubuntu Core using real business cases. This will be a live event where IoT developers of all industries have

Hannover Messe USA is almost here! With a 114,000+ net sq. ft exhibition area, 500+ companies, 129400+ registrants and 100+ countries represented, Hannover Messe USA is the largest gathering of industrial manufacturing in North America. Join Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, at Hannover Messe USA to discuss open source innovation in i

A real-time system responds to events within a specified deadline. If the timing constraints of the system are unmet, failure has occurred. In the kernel context, real-time denotes a deterministic response to an external event, aiming to minimize the response time guarantee. Real-time Beta now available in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS  Last April, Ca

Hannover Messe, one of the world’s largest trade fairs, dedicated to the industrial sectors (drive engineering, automation, robotics, R&D and industrial IT), will be held in Hannover, Germany from May 30th to June 2nd 2022. Come join us at Hall 5, Booth B51/1, where we will discuss all things IoT and embedded and introduce you

On 21 April 2022, Canonical announced Real-time Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, available in beta.  Based on upstream v5.15, the 22.04 LTS kernel integrates the out-of-tree PREEMPT_RT patch for x86_64 and AArch64 architectures. Once in GA, the new real-time kernel will power the next generation of robotics, IoT, and telco innovations by providing a det
