Interrupt Management and Configuration in FreeRTOS Development

1. Interrupt Priority <span>Cortex-M</span> series cores (such as <span>M3/M4/M7</span>) use the <span>NVIC</span> (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller) to support interrupt nesting and priority management. It employs a grouping mechanism that divides interrupt priority into two parts: Preemption Priority: Determines whether the current interrupt can interrupt other interrupts. Subpriority: Determines the response order when preemption priorities are … Read more

MCU in Embedded Development - Task Management in FreeRTOS

Continuing from the previous article, we have already learned about the porting and startup process of FreeRTOS. Today, we will continue to study the task management part of FreeRTOS, starting with understanding what a task is. 1. Task 1.1 Introduction to Tasks (1) In bare-metal systems, we generally use a front-and-back system for development. If … Read more

FreeRTOS – Task Scheduling Mechanism

by
FreeRTOS - Task Scheduling Mechanism

Tasks are the smallest units of execution competing for system resources. Multiple tasks with the same priority can share the same priority level. In FreeRTOS, if configUSE_TIME_SLICING is defined as 1, then multiple ready tasks with the same priority will share the processor in a time-slicing manner, where one time slice equals one tick. Task … Read more
