Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers

Aimed at embedded engineers and students, this book introduces you to the fundamentals of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and their application on STM32 microcontrollers using FreeRTOS. By exploring practical examples and innovative debugging tools, you will gain the expertise to design and implement effective real-time embedded systems.

What this Book will help me do

• Evaluate when and why to use an RTOS in embedded projects.
• Master RTOS concepts, including tasks, mutexes, semaphores, and queues, for real-world applications.
• Analyze and select appropriate microcontroller units (MCUs), IDEs, and middleware stacks to optimize workflows.
• Use FreeRTOS to develop and deploy robust firmware on STM32 hardware.
• Leverage SEGGER tools such as J-Link and Ozone for debugging and optimizing real-time systems.
