RTOS 101 – Understand your real-time applications with the help of Percepio Tracealyzer

The use of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is increasingly common in embedded software designs, as an RTOS makes it easy to divide your code into smaller blocks, tasks, which execute seemingly in parallel and independent of each other. An RTOS provides multi-tasking, in a reliable and maintainable manner, which makes it easier to design applications with multiple concurrent functions such as control, communication and HMI. The overhead of an RTOS is negligible on modern 32-bit processors and is often more than compensated for by more efficient designs enabled by multi-tasking. Read More
