What is Real-time Ubuntu?
Canonical and Intel collaborate to deliver real-time Ubuntu on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with TSN and TCC Support. Explore how real-time Ubuntu benefits the IoT customers and market as a whole.
Getting started
The real-time kernel is available via Ubuntu Pro, Canonical’s enterprise security and compliance subscription. Ubuntu Pro is free for personal and small scale commercial use in up to 5 machines.
With an Ubuntu Pro subscription, launching the real-time kernel is as easy as:
pro attach <token>
pro enable realtime-kernelRun Real-time Ubuntu on Intel hardware
Optimised Real-time Ubuntu is available on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Coupled with Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC) and Time Sensitive Networking (IEEE TSN), the real-time kernel delivers industrial-grade performance to meet stringent latency requirements:
