2 Introduction to RTOS Part 1 - What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)? | Digi-Key Electronics
Widely suggested as a gentle first step into real-time operating systems, using the ESP32 as its platform while teaching ideas that carry over to others.
3 Introduction to RTOS
Shawn Hymel's Digi-Key playlist introducing FreeRTOS concepts on an ESP32 within the Arduino framework, suggested as a gentle first step into real time operating systems.
4 #22 RTOS Part-1: What is a Real-Time Operating System?
Often suggested as the way into real-time operating systems, building a small scheduler by hand on ARM Cortex-M, starting with how context switches work.
5 Miro Samek - Modern System Embedded Programming Course
Miro Samek's free course is repeatedly recommended for learning embedded programming by following along on real hardware, and it also covers real-time operating systems.
6 Introduction to Zephyr
Shawn Hymel's DigiKey series is recommended as a starting point for learning Zephyr and getting to grips with its core concepts.
7 Event-Driven Programming
A playlist recommended for embedded developers learning event-driven design, including task-per-domain structure, message queues and how that approach compares with mutexes.
8 #0 Modern Embedded Systems Programming: Getting Started
The first episode of Quantum Leaps' free embedded programming course, climbing from basics to state machines and RTOS concepts, and suggested as a substitute for paid training.
9 #381 How to work with a Real Time Operating System and is it any good? (FreeRTOS, ESP32)
Recommended as an introduction to running a real-time operating system on the ESP32, and pointed to by people working with interrupts and semaphores.
10 STM32 FreeRTOS Tutorial Series – Tasks, Queues, Semaphores & Mutex (CubeIDE Guide)
A video course on FreeRTOS, suggested for learning real-time operating systems on STM32 parts and useful alongside a book, with lessons that transfer to other boards.
11 Get to know FreeRTOS from the Creator! - DesignWest 2013
A talk by FreeRTOS creator Richard Barry is suggested as introductory material on real-time operating systems and why to choose them over superloops.
12 Introduction to RTOS Part 5 - Queue | Digi-Key Electronics
Praised as a clear explanation of RTOS queues for passing data between tasks, and credited by one viewer with getting a real ESP32 project working.
Hidden gem13 Using C++14 in an Embedded “SuperLoop” Firmware - Erik Rainey - CppCon 2022
A conference talk suggested for practical guidance on modern C++ in bare metal firmware, including how a superloop design compares with an RTOS.
