Description of  Zephyr RTOS Embedded C Programming: Using Embedded RTOS POSIX API

B0D52R4HD1 epub B0D52R4HD1 epub These days the term Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is used when referring to an operating system designed for use in embedded microprocessors or controllers. The Real Time part refers to the ability to implement applications that can rapidly responding to external events in a deterministic and predictable manner. RTOS-based applications have to meet strict deadline constraints while meeting the requirements of the application. One way of ensuring that urgent operations are handled reliably is to set task priorities on each task and to assign higher priorities to those tasks that need to respond in a more timely manner. Another feature of real-time applications is the careful design and implementation of the communication and synchronization between the various tasks. The Zephyr RTOS was developed by Wind River Systems, and subsequently open sourced. Its design and implementation are oriented towards the development of time critical IoT (Internet of Things) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications, and, consequently it has a rich feature set for building both wireless and wired networking applications. However, with a rich feature set comes a fairly steep learning curve. Read more
