What could you possibly do with OCI Containers on a mission-critical RTOS platform? Well, a lot more than you might think, even though it's not about running Traefik and Node.js on VxWorks. Wind River Principal Technologist Rob Woolley answerd many questions about #VxWorks containers at the Wind River blog, check it out at: http://ow.ly/VyUK104OUJ1 #embedded #wearewindriver

The second session about FreeRTOS Memory Management and Context Switching with my great team CAT Reloaded 🖤 Topics: •Memory management - Static Vs Dynamic Memory Allocation - Creating an RTOS Object Using Statically Allocated RAM - Creating an RTOS Object Using Dynamically Allocated RAM - FreeRTOS Heap - Memory Management Implementation [Heap_1] •Context switching - Links •Memory management https://lnkd.in/diXJtW6D •Context switching https://lnkd.in/d_ubRYVv #embeddedsystems #rtos #freertos

In this series on the advantages of the simple "superloop" scheduler, Nathan Jones dives deep to show us several ways to improve the superloop to bring its performance nearly on par with an RTOS. He notes that "a program like Tracealyzer from Percepio to determine the execution time of each task" is also an option. We like that too. 😉 From Embedded Related: https://lnkd.in/g-AGX2zf #Superloop #RTOS #PercepioTracealyzer #VisualTrace

Factors To Be Considered In Choosing RTOS For Embedded System Selecting the right RTOS for embedded systems requires considering licensing models, hardware compatibility, real-time capabilities, and long-term sustainability. To make an informed decision, read more about these crucial factors and their impact on RTOS selection in the full article. https://lnkd.in/dPB2q_Mv SunStream Global Technologies #EmbeddedSystems #SoftwareEngineering #RTOSSelection #BusinessConsiderations #LongTermViability #RTOS #EmbeddedLinuxDevelopmentServices

Worth Reading: Introduction to VXLAN

Did you know VxWorks, the world's leading real-time operating system, supports OCI-compliant containers and is certifiable up to Automotive Safety Integrity Level D? See why VDC named VxWorks the #1 RTOS for the edge: http://ow.ly/qkyn104GwSc #VxWorks #containers #wearewindriver

The key for an RTOS running on a multicore platform, is to ensure that the length of the highest priority interrupt handler cannot grow with the number of cores:Interrupt handlers should not spin waiting on potentially every other core, nor should they iterate through them.

One orchestration framework for Linux and your certified realtime workloads.

Warning - technical content ahead.... If you are developing digitally controlled power electronic systems using the C2000 processor family from Texas Instruments, take a look at their sysconfig tool. If you haven't used this before, it is a great way to get the basics of your code framework up and running with peripherals configured how you like very quickly. It has a GUI to aid peripheral setup including software elements such as RTOS, logging, DSP functions etc. The GUI then sets up all the initialisation code so you get to focus on building your application code far sooner. Thanks also to the folks at the E2E forum for helping me to understand how to name peripherals correctly in the tool to ensure it does what we want - great support! #digitalpower #powerelectronics #netzero
