Abstract :
Real Time Operating System (RTOS) is a small operating system designed to manage peripherals and has a low level layer to enhance the parallel execution of multiple programs. In addition, a RTOS main concern is to achieve processing in real time. This paper discusses the development of Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to be used with the PIC18F microcontroller. The kernel of this RTOS is written in assembly language however the users may use both assembly and C to develop their applications. This RTOS is developed and it is used as a teaching tool for a course in embedded systems.
