Real-Time Operating Systems tutorial

Here's another tutorial to note from the Embedded Live programme.

Entitled Introduction to Real-Time Operating Systems, David Kalinsky (Principal of D. Kalinsky Associates) will lead the half-day tutorial, on Tuesday 19 October 2010 (9:30am - 12:30pm). It is part of the Real-Time System Development track.

Key Takeaways:
  • Attendees learn how to select the appropriate kind of RTOS for an embedded system in a variety of different situations.
  • Attendees learn how to use popular features of real-time operating systems.
It is an Introductory tutorial and some background in developing software or firmware for embedded systems - including those with hard- or soft- real-time requirements - will be required by attendees.

Presentation Abstract:
There are many different kinds of real-time operating systems that are being used by software developers of embedded systems, ranging from simple homemade kernels to feature-rich off-the-shelf real-time operating systems (RTOSs) based on priority-based preemptive scheduling. This tutorial will study their features at a technical level, and also take a peek into the future of RTOSs. It will focus on kernel services provided by most RTOSs, such as task management, inter-task communication, synchronization, and dynamic memory allocation. Many examples are used to show a variety of ways in which an RTOS may be exploited in embedded designs.
