This updated edition of Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers is packed with cutting-edge content to help you expand your skills and stay ahead of the curve with embedded systems development. Written by senior engineers with decades of experience in cybersecurity, operating systems (OSs), and embedded systems, it covers the role of real-time OSs in today's time-critical applications and FreeRTOS with its key capabilities and APIs. You'll find a detailed overview of system design (memory management), project design (MCU, IDE, and RTOS APIs), and hands-on system use as well as the system platform, dev-boards with an MCU and a debug probe, and development tools (IDE, build system, and source-code debugging).
This second edition teaches you how to implement over 20 real-world embedded applications with the latest FreeRTOS features and how to optimize your code with dynamic analysis. The chapters include example programs on GitHub with detailed instructions. You'll create and install your own FreeRTOS system on the dev-board and set up an IDE project with debugging tools. With dozens of reference manuals listed, you'll always have ample resources for system development.
By the end of this book, you'll have the hands-on skills to design, build, and optimize embedded applications using FreeRTOS, dev-boards, and modern debugging tools.
