Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard-Real-Time Operating System
Abstract
This chapter introduces the key concepts needed to start development using a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) on a Cortex-M microcontroller. The use of an RTOS is becoming an essential skill required to develop increasingly complex Cortex-M applications. The practical examples demonstrate all of the main features within the CMSIS-RTOS specification.

Introduction
This chapter is an introduction to using a small footprint real-time operating system (RTOS) on a Cortex-M microcontroller. As we saw in Chapter 4 “Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS)” defines ...
