"A cooperative task scheduler could certainly be used in a soft real time application but that does not mean a cooperative scheduler is not capable of meeting the requirements of some hard real time systems."
Sure, but it does require the cooperation of the programmer... This is a very important point. It does not matter what system, methodology, programming language or even RTOS one uses, whether it works or not is down to the programmer. To my mind that is more than enough reason for all embedded programmers to learn the concepts and pitfalls of real time systems. Ian |
