This looks way to break with chip restrictions bound by the leading software package AUTOSAR. But I think, like all FOSS, will benefit everyone in the end.

      Not quite? Ok so according to the article it is supposed to challenge the status of AUTOSAR. This is something used exclusively in automotive ECUs which most of the time use the operating system shipped with AUTOSAR compliant vendor. This OS is much much simpler than Linux is with totally different design goals and requirements. Think bare-bones no MMU operating system. It would be closer to FreeRTOS than Linux.

      However the story does not end here. Together with an operating system the vendor delivers all tooling for development, which includes such gimmicks like visualization of task scheduling in comparison to resource usage. You can inspect worst case scenarios without even running the compiled software and make sure that hard real-time requirements are always met.

      Now, this space is dominated by one company from Germany named Vector… You see where this goes.

      Source: worked with AUTOSAR many years ago. I hated it because the tooling is so advanced it is mostly point and click programming
