Introduction to Multithreaded Programming in Embedded Systems
Piotr Romaniuk, Ph.D., July 11, 2011

Introduction

Table of contents

* Bad practices and implicated problems

* 'One-threaded' programming

* Concurrency

* Why to use multithreaded programming?

* Multithreaded aspects:

    - thread and its context,

    - CPU time assignment and context switch,

    - how to control concurrency and shared resources,

    - periodic and deffered actions,

    - is your function reentrant?,

* Testing methods

The tutorial is an introduction to multithreaded programming. It illustrates common errors and practices that should be avoided. It presents 'one-threaded' model and explains concurrency between the main loop and ISR. Next, it discusses basic aspects of multithreaded firmware, including system structure, internal synchronisation, management of common resources, time related events, etc. Finally, it describes effective methods for debugging real-time software.
