T-engine: the open, real-time embedded-systems platform for ubiquitous computing

T-Engine is a standard architecture for next generation real-time embedded systems for ubiquitous computing system to improve software productivity of these systems. This paper introduces the basic design philosophy of T-Engine, and overview of its standard hardware and software specifications. By now, several computer vendors have released more than ten hardware systems based on the T-Engine architecture. Upon these, software vendors are developing major middleware components for embedded systems such as Java, Linux, and mobile phone profiles.
