Embedded software article: RTOS Revealed #2

November 7, 2016 • 2 MIN READ
By Colin Walls

My latest article on embedded.com has been published. This piece is the second installment of a new series, called RTOS Revealed, which will appear from time to time for the rest of this year, into 2017 and beyond. The series will cover every aspect of real time operating systems.

Program structure and real time

In this article I take a look at ways to structure an embedded application and what real time is all about. This leads to the decision making process for utilizing an RTOS or not.

I hope that you find the series interesting and look forward to your input by comment or email or via social media.
