FreeRTOS Firmware Programming For Beginners and Intermediates

FreeRTOS Real Time Operating System Firmware Development

Mastering the FreeRTOS Embedded Firmware Programming on KL25 ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU using FRDM-KL25 Platform

Course focus on real time operating system basics, architecture, features, why, when and where to use RTOS, its classification, features and key selection parameters. Then it dig into task management, task scheduling, task dispatcher, various task scheduling mechanisms, multi-tasking firmware development. Then it helps you to dive into task synchronization techniques like semaphores, task communication.
