This EdgeVerse Techcast episode delves into the Real-Time Edge software framework designed for industrial applications. It supports NXP i.MX and Layerscape Application Processors and i.MX RT1180 Microcontrollers. Hosts Bridgette and Kyle welcome Zbynek Fedra, an experienced technical marketing expert at NXP.

Zbynek details how Real-Time Edge helps developers:

• Enable same chip to run both high-level operating systems (Linux) and low-latency Real-Time operating systems (Zephyr, FreeRTOS)
• Use the software framework to add industrial protocols like CANopen, EtherCAT, TSN, Modbus, OPC UA
• Develop with Yocto build system environment
• Allocate resources and communicate between multiple cores and operating systems

The Real-Time Edge is ideal for applications like Factory or Building automation, Industrial Switches or even Machine vision.
