How to verify RTOS best practices in runtime. How visual trace diagnostics can be used to analyze the software design and detect deviations from best practices. What is priority inheritance? Using a ...

Beyond task scheduling and communication, an RTOS will undoubtedly include functionality – API calls – to control tasks in a selection of ways. We can look at some of the possibilities. Task Creation ...

Today's embedded applications are rapidly evolving. Traditional DSP applications are adding networking and other control functionality. At the same time, the typical MCU control application will often ...

Without a feature like priority ceilings, task C can prevent task A and C from running. A priority-ceiling feature changes the priority of task A to that of task C, allowing it to run and eventually ...

An increasing number of multi-threaded embedded applications want to leverage multicore designs. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS provides automatic load balancing of multiple threads in a ...

Whether an embedded system is a handheld Internet device, a telephone switch, or a complex aircraft control setup, the real-time operating system (RTOS) running it must guarantee uninterrupted service ...

Real-time operating systems require a set of functionality to effectively perform their function, which is to be able to execute all of their tasks without violating specified timing constraints. This ...

CircuitPython users may be interested in a new real-time operating system (RTOS) created for the CircuitPython platform the aim of providing a pure Python RTOS. pyRTOS was modeled after FreeRTOS, with ...

The use of a real-time operating system (RTOS) or a bare-metal scheduler is a popular topic of debate among embedded system developers. The supporters of bare metal argue that they can use a ...

A kernel can be defined as the essential center of an operating system. The kernel is the core of an operating system that provides a set of basic services for the other parts of the operating system.
