Understanding Interrupts and RTOS in an Embedded System (Updated)

Embedded System and microcontrollers depend on Interrupts & RTOS for real time deadlines. Learn in-depth with 8051 code.

What you'll learn

A solid foundation on A to Z of interrupts
Using External interrupts
Using Timer/Counter interrupts
Using Serial interrupts
Understanding RTOS
Priorities & Deadlines
Scheduling algorithms like Round Robin, Rate-monotonic and Earliest Deadline First
Tasks and Processes

Requirements

Digital logic and design
Microprocessor fundamentals

Description

Often the lack of good understanding of the fundamental concepts is the reason for difficulty later. Every Embedded System is an always ON system that responds to events around them. Meeting deadlines and achieving real time behavior depends heavily on interrupts and its effective management. And understanding how RTOS work shall help in effectively putting together an Embedded System product. This is a thorough course from a seasoned expert. Examples are with 8051 Assembly Language. It is a simple microcontroller but yet packed with features. Once you are comfortable with 8051, you can directly transition to processors like ARM.
