A New Perspective on Improvements in Event and Time Triggered Embedded Programming

1. Limitations of Traditional Programming Structures When not using an RTOS, embedded software typically employs two traditional programming structures: one is called the “foreground-background structure” or “super loop structure,” which is essentially an event-triggered programming method, and the other is a time-triggered programming method, as described in Michael J. Pont’s “Time-Triggered Programming Model.” In practical … Read more

Sharing Years of Experience in Embedded Programming: A Different Perspective on Programming

1. Limitations of Traditional Programming Structures When not using an RTOS, embedded software typically employs two traditional programming structures: one is called the “front-back structure” or “super loop structure,” which is essentially an event-driven programming method; the other is a time-triggered programming method, such as Michael J. Pont’s “time-triggered programming model.”In practical work, when the … Read more
