I have said this several times before and I have no hesitation in saying it again. Although I agree it is very hard to find an application on an 8051 that needs an RTOS, it very worth while to study their techniques, terminolgy, strengths and weaknesses and how they overcome them because real time development on an 8051 faces exactly the same issues.


I would take this statement even further and say that there are *no* applications on any platform that actually *need* an RTOS. However, there are applications on many platforms, possibly including the 8051, whose ease of development and ultimate reliability may benefit from the use of an RTOS.

Each case has to be judged individually.
