Nearly every embedded system uses interrupt service routines (ISRs). If you need to keep track of time, you likely have a timer interrupt that generates a system tick. If you have a USART, you’re ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

Callbacks are references to executable code that higher levels of software pass into a function. These callbacks have the ability to greatly increase the portability and reuse of embedded software, ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...
