RTOS  or  not  RTOS?

System  Architecture  

More  important  than  the  RTOS.    Architecture  is  what  you  can  explain    aCer  a  SixPack.    ImplementaGon  is  everything  else.      

YOU,  the  Designer,  are  Responsible  

Embedded  Reliability:  Full  Control  

CriGcal  systems  need    Full  Control  over  the  ImplementaGon

Final  Point  Good  Embedded  Engineering  has  no  shortcuts.  Regardless  of  using  an  RTOS,  your  code  is  what  makes  or  breaks  your  system.    Always  design  as  if    people’s  lives  depend  on  you.
