Developing with CMSIS RTOS
Introduction
This chapter is an introduction to using a small footprint RTOS on a Cortex-M microcontroller. If you are used to writing procedural-based C code on small 8/16-bit microcontrollers, you may be doubtful about the need for such an OS. If you are not familiar with using an RTOS in real-time embedded systems, you should read this chapter before dismissing the idea. The use of an RTOS represents a more sophisticated design approach, inherently fostering structured code development that is enforced by the RTOS API.
The RTOS structure allows you to take a more object-orientated design approach, while still programming in C. The RTOS also provides you with multithreaded support on a small microcontroller. ...
