Hi i've just switched from assembly language to c and i've studied a little about RTX51 Real time operating system but i could'nt figure out its purpose for microcontroller applications. Can any one kindly make me understand with examples what difference RTX51 makes and a little tutorial about it.Thanks In Advance For your help
In some ways, and RTOS for a '51 is like a cheap condom: It tends to give you a false sense of security while you're getting screwed. BINGO, I wish I had come up with that one. Erik
"Actually i want to figure out the edges that an RTOS and c programming has got over simple assembly language" An RTOS has nothing specifically to do with 'C' programming. See this thread on the pros & cons of 'C' and assembler: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=82834 Generally, an RTOS is unnecessary for anything suited to run on an 8051 - irrespective of what programming language you use.

Hi, Actually i want to figure out the edges that an RTOS and c programming has got over simple assembly language. Any body so nice and helpful willing to help me plz help
I take offense from the statement in the article "many embedded systems survive perfectly well without a multitasking real-time operating system (RTOS)." correctly it should read "many embedded systems excel without a multitasking real-time operating system (RTOS)" otherwise the article seems fair Erik
