Introduction to Priority Inversion
by YukuanMark
When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here's an introduction to priority inversions and a pair of techniques you can use to avoid them.
Get by Without an RTOS
by YukuanMark
Too many simple systems use a commercial RTOS. All that's sometimes needed is a way to implement even-driven and periodic functions. Here's an easy way to do just that.
eCos

If you currently do not use an RTOS, read this book to gain a deep understanding of what these powerful tools can do for your code. If you're looking at commercial products, read the book to understand some of the trade-offs and gain an appreciation for w
Real Time Application Design
by YukuanMark
This section presents four contrasting design solutions to a hypothetical embedded real time application. The suitability of each solution is judged for embedded computers with varying RAM, ROM and processing capabilities. In addition the simplicity and c
