Book

Practical Real-Time Systems Using FreeRTOS provides a hands-on introduction to the design, development, and implementation of real-time embedded systems using FreeRTOS. The book bridges fundamental concepts with practical implementation, helping readers understand how real-time operating systems manage tasks, scheduling, synchronization, communication, timing, and resource constraints. Beginning with the fundamentals of real-time systems and FreeRTOS architecture, the book progressively explores task management, scheduling algorithms, inter-task communication, semaphores, mutexes, queues, software timers, interrupt handling, memory management, and real-time performance analysis. Practical examples and implementation-oriented discussions make complex concepts easier to understand and apply. Designed for students, researchers, educators, and embedded-system developers, this book serves as a practical reference for courses and projects in Real-Time Systems, Embedded Systems, Operating Systems, IoT, and Microcontroller Programming. It emphasizes hands-on learning and provides a foundation for developing reliable, responsive, and resource-efficient real-time applications using FreeRTOS.
