Basic Design Using An RTOS

The document discusses the basic design of an embedded system using a real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS allows a single CPU system to run interrupt service routines, kernel functions, and tasks concurrently. It provides fast execution of user threads, effective handling of interrupts and drivers, and fixed-time memory allocation. An RTOS also enables scheduling and blocking of multiple tasks, simplifies I/O management, and facilitates use of semaphores for synchronization between tasks and shared resources.

RTOS

 An embedded system with a single CPU can


run only one process at an instance.
 The process at any instance may either be
an ISR, or kernel function or task

and Design" , Raj Kamal, Publs.: McGraw-Hill, Inc.
RTOS
 Provides running the user threads in kernel
space so that they execute fast.
 Provides effective handling of the ISRs,
device drivers, ISTs, tasks or threads
 Disabling and enabling of interrupts in user
mode critical section code
 Provides memory allocation and de-
allocation functions in fixed time and
blocks of memory

and Design" , Raj Kamal, Publs.: McGraw-Hill, Inc.
RTOS

 Provides for effectively scheduling and


running and blocking of the tasks in cases
of number of many tasks
 I/O Management with devices, files,
mailboxes, pipes and sockets becomes
simple using an RTOS
 provides for the uses of Semaphore (s) by
the tasks or for the shared resources
(cCritical sections) in a task or OS functions

RTOS

 Effective management of the multiple


states of the CPU and, internal and
external physical or virtual devices
