Design Framework for Thread Prioritization in Embedded Systems

Design Framework for Thread Prioritization in Embedded Systems

Abstract Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Operating Systems (OS) both provide the capability to set thread priorities. We assign a unique priority to each thread based on the software functional architecture, thereby creating a hierarchy of threads within the system. However, this principle of assigning unique priorities can lead to issues, as assigning a unique … Read more
