RTOS, known in Chinese as 实时操作系统 (Real-Time Operating System), is the main focus of this series, which aims to master FreeRTOS. Next, we will compare it with bare metal systems and understand the advantages of RTOS, allowing us to clearly recognize why we should learn RTOS. Bare Metal System In a bare metal system, the … Read more
Inter-Process Communication In bare-metal development, two applications typically use global variables for message passing. However, in applications using an operating system, using global variables for message passing involves “resource management” issues. FreeRTOS implements message passing between tasks and between tasks and interrupts through a mechanism called “queues”. Queue Management Queues generally use a first-in-first-out (FIFO) … Read more
Utilizing the VSCode debugging environment to observe the startup process of ThreadX.0. Startup AnecdoteThe example program for the debugging environment built on ThreadX RTOS encounters a HardFault exception, as shown in the figure below.However, this issue does not occur on another host. The same example code, when debugged step by step, locates the specific instruction … Read more

Abstract: In response to the computing power processing needs of intelligent applications, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) provides computing services at the network edge. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have good maneuverability and can serve as temporary aerial edge nodes in MEC to provide edge services to ground users. However, the MEC environment is complex and dynamically … Read more

Unmanned aerial vehicles (unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV) possess excellent maneuverability and can serve as temporary aerial edge nodes to provide edge services for ground users within the MEC environment. However, the MEC environment … Read more
PART.01Performance Kill: Three Major Tricks to Push RTOS Kernel to the Limit1. Interrupt Response: The “Bloody Evolution” from μs to Clock Cycles Traditional Solution: FreeRTOS default interrupt latency ≥5μs (some industrial control devices measured directly up to 8.7μs); Huawei Black Technology: L1 Cache Preloading Mechanism (measured on Hisilicon Hi1812 chip): T_{latency} = T_{int} + \lceil … Read more
In-Depth Study of Dynamic Task Priority Adjustment: Problem Analysis and Solutions1. IntroductionDynamic task priority adjustment is a widely adopted scheduling strategy in modern real-time systems, cloud computing, edge computing, and other fields. It dynamically changes the execution order of tasks based on their real-time status, resource requirements, and system load to improve resource utilization and … Read more
