Course Outline
Approaches to embedded firmware design – event loop + interrupts, RTOS, pure event-driven approach. Simple RTOS characteristics. FreeRTOS. CMSIS RTOS v2 interface.
Thread states. FreeRTOS scheduler. Timing dependencies. Synchronization mechanisms and their usage: queues, semaphores, mutexes. RTOS and interrupts – interaction.
Exercises:
1. Creating FreeRTOS application using STM32CubeIDE. Threads, timing dependencies. Thread and timer parametrization.
2. Incremental design of a real-world example: queues, semaphores, interface threads, application thread, interaction with interrupts.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of C language and microcontroller technology.
