RTOS debugging: Chasing the jitter bug

Jul 9, 2019

When you have a task in your system that is supposed to execute at regular intervals, say for instance that it needs to read a sensor value every 5 milliseconds, then you have a system that is sensitive to random delays – also known as .jitter.

RTOS debugging: When the CPU has too much on its hands

Jul 3, 2019

In embedded systems using multitasking, you may run into a situation where some of your tasks run slowly or not at all. This is called task starvation (the affected tasks are starved of CPU time) and it can happen for a number of reasons.
