Traditional OSs: Not enough for today's needs

Traditional certified RTOS solutions provide strong assurance and deterministic real-time behavior.

But they were built for a different era. They are not designed for today's heterogeneous multi-core and accelerator-rich platforms. Ecosystem support is limited. Integration with modern AI and data frameworks is weak. Adapting them to today's software-defined systems is costly and slow.
