Abstract :
In this paper, we present a mechanism for runtime updating of all kernel modules of a highly modular dynamic real-time operating system. Our approach can help solve the lack of adaptability, extensibility and flexibility of existing real-time operating systems. The dynamic real-time operating system will efficiently support a wide range of applications since any kernel module can be dynamically loaded at runtime to exactly suit the applications without necessitating a reboot of the system
