I just read that Linux with the RT patch can get latencies as low as 10uS, whilst a 'real' RTOS can get latencies down to 0.1uS. For safety critical systems (i.e. ABS braking system) or factory automation (where the latency directly influences the throughput ) I'd probably opt for the lowest latency but there are plenty of systems where latencies can be higher. Or is a lower latency ...

I have an embedded system using an RTOS. The one weakness of this RTOS is that it has a weak memory manager. You can pre-define the block size that will be created in the memory pool, but this block size is always fixed. That means that it won't be able to allocate the exact amount of memory that you need - it will turn out to always be too much. The only exception to this is if I pre-def...

Hello experts, I have few questions with regard to TESSY tool for unit and integration testing. I have gone throgh HITEX website but i couldn't get information to following questions: 1. Can TESSY working on a TARGET will give you the information about MEMORY LEAKAGE? 2. Can TESSY be used to test RTOS? i.e. can it give me the information about DEAD LOCKING? SYNCHRONIZATION ISSUES and al...

Hi, I read an online tutorial on RTOS, see below dot line please. I am not clear about what is for the word 'queue' in the first line. Does it mean a task queue? Thanks in advance. .................... The use of a queue allows the medium priority task to block until an event causes data to be available - and then immediately jump to the relevant function to handle the event. This...

Dear Experts, I am curious to understand how we go about setting priorities for an RTOS system.I have heard in one of our training sessions that when we set priorities,generally processing task would get highest priority and then the input task and then the output task.How can we decide which priority to assign for a particular task? I am aware this query is too generic to be answered and i...

Although I have quite a bit of experience with embedded work (Asm, C, C++), my resume is very light on formal embedded and RTOS training. Does anyone know who is offering good online training on embedded programming and real-time OS topics? Most of what I've found searching through Google isn't available online and is geared more toward having a teacher come to a place of business to tra...

I'm not usually one to gripe in public but the latest issue of Embedded Systems Programming (ESP) really ticked me off. In an otherwise acceptable article on CMPs Operating Systems Survey titled "Embedded Systems Survey: Operating Systems Up for Grabs" they completely ignored the well known MicroC/OS-II RTOS. An RTOS that a year ago placed number 2 or 3 in many categories of the same C...

Hi, Has anybody used Trace32 debugger with AMX rtos on ARM9 target ? Can you tell me how to ask the debugger to map task tag to task name ? Now, the tag is getting displayed as a number equal to the enumeration value of the task id. Reading the debugger display will be easier for me if the debugger shows the task name instead of task id. ...

Dear All, I have plans to work on ASIC based on ARM926EJ-S core. I am planning to port the Nucleus RTOS to the ASIC. I find the ARM core is well supported in the Nucleus RTOS. How to analyze the porting requirements to a supported processor but for different set of peripherals? I have downloaded the NucleusSIM from the site. Can this be useful to me understanding the HAL layer along...

Hi, I was asked the question in the title some time ago. I had some real-time embedded system experience but with RTOS. A watch-dog can avoid a task not called in a real-time system. But in a RTOS, what is the right answer for it? I knew task priority, a timer triggered event all can influence a task execution. But they didn't look like the correct answer. What is the right answer do you thi...

Hi Guys, I am working on some RTOS, in which I see lot of interrupts "enabling" and "disabling" code in most of the RTOS API's to protect kernel data. For example, Semaphore API's, Message Queue APIs, Runtime memory management API's. Is enabling / disabling interrupts only to protect the kernel data? Why I am asking this is whenever interrupts are disabled, I am scared of losing timer int...
