RTFM-RT: a threaded runtime for RTFM-core towards execution of IEC 61499

• The IEC 61449 standard provides an outset for designing and deploying distributed control systems. Recently, a mapping from IEC 61499 to the RTFM-kernel API has been presented. This allows predictable real-time execution of IEC 61499 applications on light-weight single-core platforms. However, integrating the RTFM-kernel (bare-metal runtime) into potential deployments requires developing device drivers, protocol stacks, and the like. For this presentation, we apply the mapping from IEC 61499 to the RTFM-MoC task and resource modelimplementedbytheRTFM-corelanguage.Thecompilation from RTFM-core can be targeted to both, RTFM-kernel and the introduced runtime system RTFM-RT. In this paper, we detail thegenericRTFM-RTruntimearchitecture,whichallowsRTFMcore programs to be executed on top of thread based environments. Furthermore, we discuss our implementation regarding scheduling specifics of Win32 threads (Windows) and Pthreads (Linux and Mac OS X). Using our RTFM-RT implementation for deployment,predictableIEC61499executiontogetherwithaccess to abovementioned operating system functions are achieved. For further developments, we discuss the needed scheduling options to achieve hard real-time and analysis required to eliminate deadlocks.
