Know-how

Initialization procedure of Function Port

This posting describes the procedure for initializing the functional ports. EXP: SPI

Information sharing between processes

This post describes information sharing between different processes.

RTOS Thread and Interrupt

This post describes RTOS threads (tasks) and interrupt behavior.

Hard-RTOS Multitask and Interrupt

This post describes MultiTask (Thread) and interrupt behavior of a Hard-RTOS. This post is a supplement to my previous post on RTOS Threads(Task) and interrupts. Please note that the behavior may differ depending on the RTOS.

Why is inter-task and interrupt-to-task communication necessary in multitasking ?

This post describes why inter-task and interrupt-to-task communication is necessary in multitasking.

Differences between macro and library

This post describes the difference between macro functions and library functions.

Dual sensor in functional safety system

This post describes a dual sensor with functional safety in mind.

Points easily overlooked in the control model

This post will discuss points that are often overlooked in control models.

Rare error of shared resources in processes with different priorities

This post describes rare errors of shared resources in processing with different priorities.

This post describes the points to note for external EEPROM.

Causes and Measures for spaghettifying codes and models

This post discusses the causes and measures for spaghettifying codes and models.

Software Specifications and Software Design Documents

This post describes the Software Specifications and Software Design Documents.

How to create a document for each process

This post describes how to have documentation created for each process.

Functional Safety Specifications

This post describes the functional safety specifications. Many people have already posted about the ISO 26262 functional safety standard, so I will skip it in this post.
