CMX-RTX™ for dsPIC30F Devices
In some cases, well-structured linear programming is
sufficient for a product. In most cases, however,
programmers appreciate not having to worry about
structuring their code to perform all necessary tasks in
a timely manner. This is where CMX-RTX can help.
CMX-RTX allows tasks (pieces of code that do specific
duties) to run quasi-concurrently. This means that tasks
will seem to run all at the same time – doing many
specific jobs simultaneously.
CMX-RTX takes the worry and headaches out of real
time programming. The software lets embedded
programmers concentrate on the overall application as
it takes care of the little details. Finish projects faster
and more efficiently with CMX-RTX.
Some RTOS software offers only cooperative
scheduling, which means that the running task has to
call the scheduler to perform a task switch. Others offer
time slicing where each task runs for a certain period of
time, at which point a task switch takes place no matter
what. Others claim to be fully preemptive, but do not
allow any interrupt to cause a preemption. All of these
models will fail at one point or another.
CMX-RTX allows a task of higher priority that is able to
run (whether starting or resuming) to preempt the lower
priority running task. This will cause the scheduler to
save the context of the running (lower priority) task and
restore the context of the higher priority task so that it is
now running. A truly preemptive RTOS allows interrupts
to cause an immediate task switch. This means that the
interrupts now have the added ability of using the
RTOS's functions.
