Painless Multithreading: How to Verify RTOS Best Practices in Runtime

Developing reliable and performant RTOS applications is easier said than done, and is greatly facilitated by a solid software design that follows best practices in RTOS application development. While an RTOS makes it easier to develop more advanced applications, the use of multithreading brings new challenges in software design, verification and debugging. Such issues are often not apparent in the application code.

In this presentation, we will discuss a selection of best practices in RTOS-based software design and the concept of visual trace diagnostics. Finally, we will explore how visual trace diagnostics can be used to analyze the software design and detect deviations from best practices.

Percepio offers two novel capabilities for embedded software developers, Visual Trace Diagnostics and IoT Device Monitoring, This way, we help developers improve software quality, product performance, development productivity, and time-to-market.
