====== Real-Time Operating Systems ======

===== (1) What is a Real-Time Operating System? =====


"A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. [...]  All operations must verifiably complete within given time and resource constraints or else fail safe. Real-time operating systems are event-driven and preemptive, meaning the OS can monitor the relevant priority of competing tasks, and make changes to the task priority." ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system|Wikipedia]])

===== Questions Set 1 on RTOS =====

**After having studied the above video tutorials successfully you are able to answer the following questions:** 

  - What is a scheduler?
  - What does preemptive mean?
  - What do task, thread, and process mean?
  - What is a semaphore?
  - What is a mutex? How is it implemented?
  - What are message queues used for? How are they implemented?

===== Coursera: Development of Real-Time Systems =====

https://www.coursera.org/learn/real-time-systems

"About this course: This course is intended for the Master's student and computer engineer who likes practical programming and problem solving!
After completing this course, you will have the knowledge to plan and set-up a real-time system both on paper and in practice.

The course centers around the problem of achieving timing correctness in embedded systems, which means to guarantee that the system reacts within the real-time requirements.
Examples of such systems include airbags, emergency breaks, avionics, and also multi-media systems like video playback and QoS in web servers."
