The sequence of importance assigned to interrupts. If two interrupts occur simultaneously, the interrupt with the higher priority is serviced first. In some systems, a higher-priority interrupt can ...

Whether an embedded system is a handheld Internet device, a telephone switch, or a complex aircraft control setup, the real-time operating system (RTOS) running it must guarantee uninterrupted service ...

An increasing number of multi-threaded embedded applications want to leverage multicore designs. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS provides automatic load balancing of multiple threads in a ...

From the humble infinite loop to the priority-based preemptive RTOS and beyond, scheduling options are everywhere to be found. This article offers a survey and comparison. Many different kinds of task ...

What’s the biggest difference between writing code for your big computer and a microcontroller? OK, the memory and limited resources, sure. But we were thinking more about the need to directly ...

As a fully preemptive kernel, SST must ensure that at all times the CPU executes the highest-priority task that's ready to run. Fortunately, only two scenarios can lead to readying a higher-priority ...

This application note presents the RX family of microcontrollers on using multiple interrupts. The document includes the specifications, the operation confirmation conditions, the hardware and ...
