<h1 id="preface"><a class="header" href="#preface">Preface</a></h1>
<p>This book contains user level documentation for the Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency
(RTIC) framework. The API reference is available <a href="../../api/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Formerly known as Real-Time For the Masses.</p>
<!--There is a translation of this book in [Russian].-->
<!--[Russian]: ../ru/index.html-->
<p>This is the documentation of v1.0.x of RTIC; for the documentation of version</p>

<h2 id="is-rtic-an-rtos"><a class="header" href="#is-rtic-an-rtos">Is RTIC an RTOS?</a></h2>
<p>A common question is whether RTIC is an RTOS or not, and depending on your background the
answer may vary. From RTIC's developers point of view; RTIC is a hardware accelerated
RTOS that utilizes the NVIC in Cortex-M MCUs to perform scheduling, rather than the more
classical software kernel.</p>
<p>Another common view from the community is that RTIC is a concurrency framework as there
is no software kernel and that it relies on external HALs.</p>

<h2 id="features"><a class="header" href="#features">Features</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Tasks</strong> as the unit of concurrency <sup class="footnote-reference"><a href="#1">1</a></sup>. Tasks can be <em>event triggered</em>
(fired in response to asynchronous stimuli) or spawned by the application on
demand.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Message passing</strong> between tasks. Specifically, messages can be passed to
software tasks at spawn time.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>A timer queue</strong> <sup class="footnote-reference"><a href="#2">2</a></sup>. Software tasks can be scheduled to run at some time
in the future. This feature can be used to implement periodic tasks.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Support for prioritization of tasks and, thus, <strong>preemptive multitasking</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Efficient and data race free memory sharing</strong> through fine grained <em>priority
based</em> critical sections <sup class="footnote-reference"><a href="#1">1</a></sup>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Deadlock free execution</strong> guaranteed at compile time. This is a stronger
guarantee than what's provided by <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Mutex.html">the standard <code>Mutex</code>
abstraction</a>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Minimal scheduling overhead</strong>. The task scheduler has minimal software
footprint; the hardware does the bulk of the scheduling.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Highly efficient memory usage</strong>: All the tasks share a single call stack and
there's no hard dependency on a dynamic memory allocator.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>All Cortex-M devices are fully supported</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This task model is amenable to known WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis
and scheduling analysis techniques.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="crate-cortex-m-06-vs-07-in-rtic-05x"><a class="header" href="#crate-cortex-m-06-vs-07-in-rtic-05x">Crate <code>cortex-m</code> 0.6 vs 0.7 in RTIC 0.5.x</a></h3>
<p>The crate <code>cortex-m</code> 0.7 started using trait <code>InterruptNumber</code> for interrupts instead of <code>Nr</code> from <code>bare-metal</code>. In order to preserve backwards compatibility, RTIC 0.5.x will keep using <code>cortex-m</code> 0.6 by default. <code>cortex-m</code> 0.7 can be enabled using the feature <code>cortex-m-7</code> and disabling default features:</p>
<pre><code>cortex-m-rtic = { version = "0.5.8", default-features = false, features = ["cortex-m-7"] }
</code></pre>
<p>RTIC 1.0.0 already uses <code>cortex-m</code> 0.7 by default.</p>
