RTOS Debugging: Everybody wants the fork

Jul 30, 2019

A clear indication that you may have a deadlock problem is when multiple tasks suddenly stop executing, although no higher priority tasks are running.

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.

RTOS debugging: Dealing with timing issues

Jun 25, 2019

There is no doubt a learning curve when you begin using a real-time operating system (RTOS) in your development. Timing, scheduling et cetera will affect your code in ways that are not directly visible in the source code.
