Embedded programming patterns: Kernel Overview

With this series of articles I'd like to share and analyse my point of view on real-time operating systems kernels and give an overview on which multitasking features are implemented in BeRTOS.

I have to say with pride that BeRTOS can adapt to embedded programming demands with an unsurpassed flexibility. It may seem a presumptuous statement, but I'll motivate it with future issues.

The coming articles will introduce a typical embedded application and they will show how to implement it using BeRTOS tools.

The next Embedded Programming Pattern posts will be organised as follows:

• developing a real world application without using a kernel;
• using synctimers to better organise source code;
• developing an application using the cooperative kernel;
• real world usage of the preemptive kernel;
• solution comparison and conclusions.

We'll start publishing a weekly article starting next Monday. See you soon!
