Device Drivers

 Device drivers areresponsible for initiating

and managing the communication with the hardware
peripherals
 Drivers which comes as part of the Operating system
image is known as ‘built-in drivers’ or ‘onboard’
drivers. Eg. NAND FLASH driver
 Drivers which needs to be installed on the fly for
communicating with add- on devices are known as
‘Installable drivers
How To Choose An RTOS

 The decision of an RTOS for an embedded

design is very critical.
 A lot of factors need to be analyzed carefully
before making a decision on the selection of
an RTOS.

These factors can be either

 Functional
 Non-functional requirements
