This document discusses running real-time tasks on Android. It notes that while Android's Linux kernel lacks real-time capabilities and digital I/O support needed for safety-critical real-time applications, alternatives like RTAI, RT-Linux, or a custom SParK hypervisor could potentially allow running one periodic hard real-time task concurrently with the Android OS without resource sharing. The document considers various options and references materials on integrating real-time capabilities into Android.
