Well I guess the use some highly customised system who will reset them self in the case of a OS Crash.
tom66:
If SpaceX were using Windows on those systems I'd be shocked. It's almost certainly a custom Linux or possibly an RTOS for reliability if qualifying Linux was seen as too difficult.

I doubt they run Linux and I doubt they run an OS they wrote from scratch. More likely it is a mission critical OS; probably very similar to what Tesla is using in their cars.

Pretty sure the cars run Linux.
SiliconWizard:
Tesla is using a custom Linux-based OS, while a few other manufacturers use QNX.
AFAIK, SpaceX also uses a custom Linux-based OS. I don't know if there are any major differences between the two, like for instance the kernel version and set of patches.
