Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

CHAPTER 9. Embedded Operating Systems An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any ...

This RTOS also offers synchronization and communication primitives in a seamless fashion to support multiprocessor systems. It comes with an extensive collection of key design features that includes ...

This two-part series addresses the use and misuse of two of the most essential synchronization primitives in modern embedded systems, the mutex (this part) and the semaphore (part 2). Mutexes and ...

Cross- industry standards body, the Multicore Association has announced the availability of its Multicore Task Management Application Program Interface (MTAPI) that supports the coordination of tasks ...

Real-time scheduling: The process of organising task execution in systems where meeting strict timing constraints is critical to the functionality of the system.
