Give us a microprocessor/language combination that has Realtime Multi-Tasking capability.

A real time clock goes without saying.

This would enable a lot of complex stuff to be written in relatively simple modules.

For instance, a 'get latest radio data' task, a 'wheel speed control' task, an 'arm control' task, a 'compute wheel speed' task, a 'monitor power consumption' task, etc.

I suppose the language should be 'C' but I am not fussy.


Failing this, I suppose I will settle for just a powerful microprocessor with access to the interrupt service rountines (with both internal and external interrupt triggers).

Comments?
