Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

Most of the computers we interact with on a day-to-day basis use an operating system designed for flexibility. While these are great tools for getting work done or scrolling your favorite sites, they ...

When do you need to use a real-time operating system (RTOS) for an embedded project? What does it bring to the table, and what are the costs? Fortunately there are strict technical definitions, which ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Having the freedom to select the right real-time operating system (RTOS) for your application is a luxury. Most projects have boundaries such as a predetermined environment, or corporate-selected ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

An RTOS is a specialized operating system designed to handle time-critical tasks with precision and reliability. Unlike general-purpose operating systems like Windows or macOS, an RTOS is built to ...

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 ...

Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are increasingly being used in safety-critical applications such as medical technology, the automotive industry, and aerospace. This raises the growing question of ...

Electronic products that use a microcontroller have become so complex today that they commonly use a real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS can manage low-level resources and time, improving the ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOSes) allow medical device manufacturers to improve the performance of their medical devices and ensure they meet regulatory requirements. But choosing whether to use an ...
