# Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency
|
||
|
||
> The hardware accelerated Rust RTOS
|
||
|
||
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 delayed or scheduled to continue running
|
||
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 a 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.

## Running tests locally
|
||
|
||
To check all `Run-pass tests` locally on your `thumbv6m-none-eabi` or `thumbv7m-none-eabi` target device, run
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ cargo xtask --target <your target>
|
||
# ˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆ
|
||
# e.g. thumbv7m-none-eabi
|
||
```
