Real-time operating system (RTOS)
 A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system for time-critical
applications.
 A RTOS executes tasks in real-time constraints where the tasks must be executed in the time
interval between the occurrence of an event and the system-expected response to the event. RTOS
tasks have predictable latencies that strictly match their expected deadlines.

 Why use RTOS?


 usually required for hard real-time systems.
 embedded device has to deal with lots of multitasking.
 RTOS is the best way to manage a complex or large application.
 hardware changes like the processor or a peripheral often do not affect a RTOS-based application.

FreeRTOS
Why FreeRTOS?(11 slide)
• It was developed by Richard Barry in
2003.
• FreeRTOS is an open-source, real-time
operating system (RTOS) designed for
embedded systems, particularly those
based on microcontrollers.
• It provides a lightweight and efficient
platform for managing multiple tasks or
processes that need to run concurrently
on a microcontroller or other embedded
hardware.
• FreeRTOS is widely used in
applications that require reliable timing,
multitasking, and real-time response,
such as automotive systems, IoT
devices, industrial automation, medical
devices, and more.

 When using FreeRTOS on the LPC17xx series (which includes microcontrollers like the LPC1768,
LPC1769, etc., based on the ARM Cortex-M3 core), FreeRTOS utilizes various hardware resources
from the microcontroller to handle tasks, scheduling, timing, and interrupts. Here's an overview of the
key LPC17xx core resources that FreeRTOS uses:

1. SysTick Timer
2. NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)
3. PendSV Interrupt (Pendable Service Call)
4. Memory (RAM) Usage
5. Peripheral Interrupts
6. Cortex-M3 Registers
7. FPU (Floating Point Unit) – Optional
8. Syscall Protection and Interrupt Priority Levels
9. Optional Usage of LPC17xx Timers
