Smart Device Application applicablity

Question

Hello All,
I come with .NET/Win32 backgorund, as I know a regular .NET/Win32 app can be used for almost any domain but what would be the different domains for Smart Device Application ?

Can I use smart device application for Real-Time ?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Managed code (whatever on device or desktop) is subject to random stops for GC, so no, in generally you cannot. On another hand if response time is within second it is probably fine.

If you need hard real time (e.g. response time in range of milliseconds) then you need real time OS, C++ and adhere to certain rules in your application.

Thank you Ilya,
So you mean to say that WinCE is not Real-Time OS ? or is it OK that I simply use C++ on WinCE to achieve Real-Time effect.

Thanks Again.

Answer 3

CE is a highly configurable modular OS. It can have real time properties if so created.
