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 ...

In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another.In this lesson, you’ll ...

Embedded systems handle specific tools that general operating systems cannot. Installing Windows on a smartphone will not work, nor is it desirable from a programming standpoint.

Embedded operating systems rule the world. By Barrie Sosinsky, Kay Tanielu; April 1, 2001; Embedded systems use dedicated computers or microprocessors to control or monitor a process. A simple example ...

The operating system safeguards access to embedded-system resources, like I/O and system memory, assuring software integrity. Those familiar with Dynamic C will find RabbitSys easy to work with.

Welcome to the "Modern Embedded Systems Programming" video course. In this course, you'll learn how to program embedded microcontrollers the modern way, from the basics all the way to the contemporary ...

By Lara Farrar, CNN No doubt, it is difficult to design operating systems for computers that simultaneously run numerous applications, while managing interactions between multiple types of ...

To some, an operating system is a burden or waste of resources, like those working on embedded systems and other low-power applications. To others it’s necessary, abstracting away hardware so… ...

The interrupt dispatch program (IDP), a key component of an embedded real-time operating system (RTOS), plays a vital role in context switching and dispatching interrupt service routines (ISRs), which ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Security aims for a comprehensive, systems view of security: hardware, platform software (such as operating systems and hypervisors), software development process, data ...
