Overview
FPGAs have traditionally been viewed as hardware implemented in programmable logic, and in recent years the advent of soft microprocessors on FPGAs include execution of application software. The soft microprocessor also makes RTOSes available to the developer. When should a designer consider using an RTOS and how does it help with system implementation? Will it help reduce your time or improve application robustness? What are the trade-offs in terms of memory footprint and speed of execution? How does one implement an RTOS on an FPGA? How does µC/OS-II RTOS from Micrium address these issues? This webcast will answer these questions as you consider implementation of a soft processor on your FPGA.
