Real Time Operating Systems - Nate Graff

Explore the world of Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) in this informative 35-minute talk. Discover what RTOS are, their importance, and how they enable the creation of responsive and resilient systems. Delve into key concepts such as timing requirements, hard time systems, ticks and tasks, scheduling, priorities, and blocking. Examine different approaches including one big loop and interrupt-driven systems. Learn about RTOS delays, inter-task communication, packets, and timed events. Understand the benefits and security considerations of RTOS, as well as their networking capabilities. Gain practical insights on how to start experimenting with RTOS in your own projects.
