1. Task Scheduling FreeRTOS is a lightweight real-time operating system kernel, and one of its core functions is task scheduling. Task scheduling is the core mechanism of FreeRTOS, determining which task runs at any given moment, when to switch tasks, and how to handle task priorities. 1.1. Task Definition Task “Task” is the basic execution … Read more
Author | strongerHuangWeChat Official Account | Embedded ColumnRecently, I have been asked similar questions: Do I have to learn RTOS when studying microcontrollers? Is there still a future for bare metal development? For microcontroller projects, should I choose bare metal development or RTOS development? Are there still companies using bare metal for projects? …… Many … Read more
In embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS) like FreeRTOS are widely used for managing multitasking scheduling. However, priority inversion is a common issue that can cause high-priority tasks to be delayed by low-priority tasks, affecting the system’s real-time performance. This article will delve into the causes of priority inversion, utilizing mechanisms provided by FreeRTOS, and … Read more
Click the above blue text to follow us In embedded systems, RTOS meets strict timing requirements by managing multiple tasks. Task stack management is a critical aspect of RTOS development, especially when porting RTOS to new hardware platforms. Stack overflow is a common error in embedded development that can lead to memory corruption, unpredictable system … Read more
▲ Click ☆ to star me, in case of losing contact Project Introduction This trial project is based on the NXP S32K312 series core board, aiming to collect the analog signal from a potentiometer using the ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) to control the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), thereby achieving the manual dimming function … Read more
Click on the aboveblue text to follow us In embedded systems, memory resources are often very limited, and memory leaks can lead to degraded system performance or even crashes. A memory leak refers to memory allocated by a program that is not properly released, gradually exhausting available memory. As a lightweight real-time operating system (RTOS), … Read more
Linux has stormed the embedded systems market. According to industrial analysts, approximately one-third to one-half of new 32-bit and 64-bit embedded system designs utilize Linux. Embedded Linux has demonstrated advantages in many application areas, such as SOHO home networks and imaging/multifunction peripherals, and has significant potential for leapfrog development in areas like (NAS/SAN) storage, home … Read more
