Özet

In recent years, a significant increase has been observed in embedded systems in terms of both performance and functionality. This situation necessitates that tasks with different priority levels can work together on the same platform. Resource isolation is of critical importance for balanced execution of real-time tasks and tasks without timing guarantees. In this study, a lightweight and secure mixed-criticality system design is presented using the open source Jailhouse hypervisor, which provides static partitioning at the hardware level. The performance of the system is evaluated based on the timing sensitivity of high-priority tasks and the efficiency of tasks without timing guarantees. In addition, the system is observed under different load conditions, and the effects of timing stability and resource sharing are investigated. The results show that a balanced and isolated structure can be achieved in terms of both time sensitivity and system efficiency on low-cost embedded platforms.
