No, its a soft real time system. It never give guarantees that task X
will finish by time Z, which is the normal definition of hard real
time. eCos will do its best to ensure that the high priority task gets
to run before the low priority task, which for most embedded systems
is enough.

Then what parts do I re-write to make it hard-real time ?
Because I want to use eCos but also I need a hard reak-time
OS.
