RTOS is Like a JVM for an embedded engineer. No, it isn't. Suppose you have been assigned to write a code for an application based on x86 platform today since targets boards are cheap.
A year later you are assigned to port the code to say a TI MSP430 .. You will be dead..by the time the product rolls out. Here's where a RTOS come into picture. This has nothing specifically to do with RTOS. It is perfectly easy to structure your code without an RTOS such that all the hardware-dependencies are isolated into a few "driver" files - call it a "Board Support Package" (BSP), if you must. An RTOS (actually, any 3rd-party, bought-in software) forces you to do this - but there is nothing to stop you doing this if you don't have an RTOS. |
