Coding : Blocking Tasks with vTaskDely()5:36
Learn how to block tasks using the vTaskDelay API, convert milliseconds to ticks with pdMS_to_ticks, and implement real-time led blink patterns in a three-task FreeRTOS project.

Introduction to queues2:44
Queue management functions5:14
Learn how to create and manage queues in FreeRTOS for Arduino, using queue handles, xQueueCreate, and data transfer with xQueueSend, xQueueSendToBack, xQueueSendToFront, and xQueueReceive, including blocking times.
Coding : Working with queues13:28
Explore creating and using a simple queue in Arduino FreeRTOS, with a sender and receiver task exchanging a 32-bit value via xQueueSend and xQueueReceive, shown on serial output.

Description

This course teaches you the foundations of real-time systems and how to build real-time applications using FreeRTOS on Arduino boards. The course gives a detailed overview of the characteristics of the FreeRTOS real-time kernel, provides a detailed tutorial on the APIs required to implement the various features of FreeRTOS on Arduino and then goes on to build about 30 real-time projects .

This course does not assume prior knowledge of real-time systems and application programming. By the end of this course you should be able to build your own multitask FreeRTOS real-time applications which use all the features of a modern real-time application (features such as semaphores, mutex, event flags, hooks, queues, mailboxes etc )and then test the performance of these features .You should also be able to : Calculate the CPU Utilization of an RTOS, Understand Rate Monotonic Schedulers,port FreeRTOS to any Arduino board,Understand Round-Robin Schedulers,Understand Weighted-Round-Robin Schedulers, Understand First Come First Served Schedulers, Implement and explain popular scheduling algorithms and so much more. Please take a look at the full course curriculum.
