In this second lesson on RTOS you will see how to automate the context switch process. Specifically, in this lesson, you will start building your own minimal RTOS that will implement the manual ...

Issues with proprietary RTOS APIs. How does the POSIX pthread API stack up against proprietary APIs? Thread creation in POSIX. However, each proprietary API impedes embedded development by requiring ...

It is my pleasure to introduce a new series of articles here on Embedded.com: RTOS Revealed. The series will delve into all aspects of real time operating systems and new articles will appear at ...

The quest for compatibility and portability is a perpetual challenge in embedded systems. While many systems today have adopted real-time operating systems (RTOS), each is unique and different enough ...

In this first video lesson on RTOS, you will see how to extend the foreground/background architecture from the previous lesson, so that you can have multiple background loops running seemingly ...

In general, an RTOS can be used anywhere a non-RTOS is employed. However, it’s rare to find an operating system with a matching RTOS that has exactly the same application programming interface (API).

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 ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a valuable technology to support countless applications in different areas. Given the WSN nodes resource constrained characteristics, designing energy-aware ...
