How to verify RTOS best practices in runtime. How visual trace diagnostics can be used to analyze the software design and detect deviations from best practices. What is priority inheritance? Using a ...

Beyond task scheduling and communication, an RTOS will undoubtedly include functionality – API calls – to control tasks in a selection of ways. We can look at some of the possibilities. Task Creation ...

We have already considered the multi-tasking concept – multiple quasi-independent programs apparently running at the same time, under the control of an operating system. Before we look at tasks in ...

John Carbone of Green Hills Software explains how a real-time operating system can use the memory management unit in the XScale processor to provide protection from bugs and hackers. My cell phone can ...

Debugging applications based on a very long-instruction word (VLIW) DSP-CPU-based multimedia processor is a major challenge because the system designer is exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP ...

You stare at the log output. It seems okay, and yet the bug is still hiding. Was Task A missing its deadline? You don’t know. Was a priority inversion quietly breaking the scheduler? Again, you don’t ...
