Fix the matrix.to link so that the room history can be viewed in "Matrix-Static" by users who aren't registered on Matrix (e.g. for previewing). Hopefully this will also get the room content into search engines. n.b. The new matrix.to URL uses the room name instead of the room ID, because the ID didn't work with Matrix-Static, and the matrix.to README at: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.to says... "Note that linking to rooms by ID should only be used for rooms to which the target user has been invited: these links cannot be assumed to work for all visitors."

# Real Time For the Masses
|
|
|
|
A concurrency framework for building real time systems.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Tasks** as the unit of concurrency [^1]. Tasks can be *event triggered*
|
|
(fired in response to asynchronous stimuli) or spawned by the application on
|
|
demand.
|
|
|
|
- **Message passing** between tasks. Specifically, messages can be passed to
|
|
software tasks at spawn time.
|
|
|
|
- **A timer queue** [^2]. Software tasks can be scheduled to run at some time
|
|
in the future. This feature can be used to implement periodic tasks.
|
|
|
|
- Support for prioritization of tasks and, thus, **preemptive multitasking**.
|
|
|
|
- **Efficient and data race free memory sharing** through fine grained *priority
|
|
based* critical sections [^1].
|
|
|
|
- **Deadlock free execution** guaranteed at compile time. This is an stronger
|
|
guarantee than what's provided by [the standard `Mutex`
|
|
abstraction][std-mutex].
|
|
|
|
[std-mutex]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Mutex.html
|
|
|
|
- **Minimal scheduling overhead**. The task scheduler has minimal software
|
|
footprint; the hardware does the bulk of the scheduling.
|
|
|
|
- **Highly efficient memory usage**: All the tasks share a single call stack and
|
|
there's no hard dependency on a dynamic memory allocator.
|
|
|
|
- **All Cortex-M devices are fully supported**.
|
|
|
|
- This task model is amenable to known WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis
|
|
and scheduling analysis techniques. (Though we haven't yet developed Rust
|
|
friendly tooling for that.)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Rust 1.36.0+
|
|
|
|
- Applications must be written using the 2018 edition.
