T-Engine: the open, real-time embedded-systems platform

T-Engine is a standard architecture for next-generation, real-time embedded systems aimed at improving software productivity for these systems. An open consortium, the T-Engine Forum (http://www.t-engine.org) in the TRON Project (http://www.tron.org), developed this architecture. Consortium members include computer hardware and software vendors, telecommunication carriers, and computer-using companies. T-Engine development followed a strong philosophy that recognizes the importance of an open standard, middleware distribution, a good balance between virtualization and adaptation, chip-free hardware standardization, and security.
