Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers

Requirements justification

We're going to be limiting our search to STM32 parts since that's the example family we're using throughout this book. In Chapter 15, FreeRTOS Memory Management we'll be covering how to prevent tasks from accessing memory they shouldn't, which will require us to make use of a part with a memory protection unit. One of the goals of this book is to keep hardware interaction as accessible as possible, which leads to the next two requirements: status display and cost. 

Some means of displaying status will likely translate into a simple LED (ideally multiple). There should be some form of feedback for the programmer to be able to see what's going on at a glance in order to ensure the code is actually doing something. ...
