Design Introduction
As embedded system designs become increasingly more complex, the use of real-time operating
systems (RTOS) becomes essential to meet time-to-market pressures and to contain non-recurring
engineering costs. However, an RTOS consumes precious CPU cycles in return for the services it
provides. Further, the RTOS is typically treated as a pure softwar
