RTOS and Embedded Development: Understanding Boot Process and Context Switching

In-Depth Analysis of System Booting and RTOS
This webinar, sponsored by MDS Tech, is designed for embedded systems developers and those seeking a deep understanding of MCU-based systems. While previous seminars covered system overview and basic hands-on training, this seminar focuses on detailed code-level analysis and algorithms.

Webinar Key Topics

- Part 1 ( Dr. Lim Jong-su Session )
Advanced System Booting:
Differences between manufacturer booting and user booting and code flow analysis
Verification of how C language commands respond on actual boards

External Serial Flash Memory Management:
Methods for accessing external flash memory that does not support byte-level access on a page-by-page basis
Code review analysis of flash memory read/write algorithms and SPI communication methods (DMA and NON-DMA)

RTOS and Context Switching:
Assembly code analysis in RTOS boot code
Understanding the role and flow of assembly code in context switching

- Part 2 ( MDS Tech Park Tae-jun Deputy Session )
Introduction to Keil MDK
CMSIS Library and Software Components
Keil Debugging Features for RTOS Awareness
