Overview

In the following examples, I have explored various concepts related to Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and specifically FreeRTOS. These tutorials are based on practical examples implemented on STM32 microcontrollers.

Introduction

The code projects cover fundamental concepts of RTOS and FreeRTOS and demonstrate their application on STM32 devices. Each oedelves into different aspects of task management, inter-task communication, synchronization mechanisms, and more.

Topics

1. Task Operations (RTOS2.0_TASKS folder):

   • Overview: Introduces the basics of task creation, switching between tasks, suspending, resuming, and terminating tasks.
   • Implementation: Demonstrates task creation, switching, suspension, resumption, and termination on STM32 using FreeRTOS.

2. Using Queue (FreeRTOS_QUEUE folder):

   • Overview: Explores the usage of queues for inter-task communication.
   • Implementation: Shows how to create and utilize queues for data exchange between tasks on STM32 with FreeRTOS.

3. Tasks and Priorities (RTOS-1 folder):

   • Overview: Covers task priorities and scheduling in RTOS.
   • Implementation: Demonstrates task prioritization and scheduling techniques on STM32 with FreeRTOS.

Learning Objectives

I aimed to cover the following major concepts in RTOS and FreeRTOS:

• Task management and scheduling
• Inter-task communication using queues
• Task synchronization and coordination
• Resource sharing and protection
• Real-time constraints and deadlines

Conclusion

By working through these examples, I gained practical insights into designing and implementing real-time embedded systems using FreeRTOS on STM32 microcontrollers. These tutorials serve as a foundation for understanding and applying RTOS principles in embedded software development.
