-Remember that RTEMS is a real-time operating system targeting embedded applications.  Applications are cross-compiled on a development host to produce executables that are transferred to and executed on target systems.  The projects in this section are more focused on the host side of that equation.  This means they will run on GNU/Linux or MS-Windows and possibly communicate with embedded hardware.

-RTEMS is a free real-time operating system that must compete against commercial closed source offerings that have very impressive looking GUI oriented Development Environments.  The RTEMS Project has spent years honing RTEMS and tuning it to be a competitive run-time and it certainly the technical capabilities to compete.  But often RTEMS gets dinged for not having a "pretty face".  Some of the projects in this category address that deficiency.

- *  [wiki:Projects/libdl Dynamic Object File Loading] is an important feature for many types of embedded applications.  It lets you have a base application with RTEMS which dynamically loads the rest of the application. The dynamic parts can be optional features and never loaded.  Plus they are more easily upgraded than an entire application image.
