Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency

A concurrency framework for building real-time systems.

Formerly known as Real-Time For the Masses.

crates.io docs.rs book rustc

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.

  • 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.
