Book DescriptionWant to stay ahead of the curve with embedded systems development? The updated edition of Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers is here and packed with cutting-edge content to up your skills.
This book contains everything you need to know about real-time operating systems, how they work, and why they’re essential for today’s time-critical applications; learn about FreeRTOS and its primary capabilities and APIs.
You’ll find a detailed overview of system-design topics such as memory management, project-design topics (MCU, IDE, and RTOS API), and hands-on system use, as well as the system platform, dev-board with an MCU and debug-probe, and development tools (IDE, build system, source-code debugging).
The new edition includes 10 real-world embedded applications showcasing the latest features of FreeRTOS, teaching you how to implement them in your own projects and exploring how to optimize your code with dynamic analysis.
It also provides example programs on a GitHub repo for you to explore with detailed instructions. You’ll learn how to create and install your own FreeRTOS system on the dev-board, and set up an IDE project with debugging tools. With dozens of reference manuals listed, you’ll never be short on resources for system development.
