what is the most accurate way in FreeRTOS to convert tick counts to milliseconds?

hey guys, I’m working on an embedded system running FreeRTOS on an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller clocked at 72MHz. I need to measure the execution time of a specific code block […]

Comparing ISR Handling in FreeRTOS, ChibiOS, and CooCox CoOS for ARM Cortex-M Projects?

Hey guys, I’m evaluating open-source RTOS options for an ARM Cortex-M project. While FreeRTOS, ChibiOS, and CooCox CoOS seem to offer similar features, I’m curious about real-world experiences. Specifically, how […]

how are local variables declared within the ISR handled?

Hi @Middleware & OS , When using FreeRTOS each thread has its own stack space it is dedicated to. So what happens with Interrupt Service Routines that’s ISRs? Do they […]

Linux is now an RTOS

As of Linux 6.12 the real-time PREMPT_RT support has been merged into the kernel. It has only taken about 20 years! However, I still don’t want it controlling my car’s […]

Ensuring Message Prioritization on CAN Bus with AVR128DA48 and Zephyr OS for Industrial Monitoring

I’m trying to implement message prioritization on the CAN Bus for my Smart Industrial Monitoring System. High-priority messages (emergency alerts) should be transmitted before regular sensor data. I’m using the […]

Best Synchronization Techniques for Task Communication in FreeRTOS on ESP32

Hi guys i’m developing a real-time sensor data display system on an ESP32 microcontroller using FreeRTOS. The project involves two main tasks: TaskA handles sensor data collection and processing while […]

Issue with Simultaneous Activation of Multiple Relays in Zephyr RTOS on ESP32

Still based on my project on home automation system that controls water pumps and taps based on motion detection using the Zephyr RTOS on an ESP32. I added more relay […]

Debugging Memory Management & Task Scheduling Issues in FreeRTOS on ESP32

Hey guys while developing a FreeRTOS-based realtime application on ESP32 to manage multiple industrial sensors, l’ve encountered system crashes and memory management issues, likely due to stack overflows and improper […]

README: Middleware & OS Forum

Forums are designed to help DevHeads community members come to quick resolution on a variety of systems integration topics. These differ from the #seeking-collabs (*find a professional dev who can […]
