How different is programming with an RTOS compared to traditional bare-metal coding on an AVR?
Hey guys, I'm getting comfortable with basic AVR projects using I/O pins. I recently came across the idea of using an RTOS on microcontrollers. How different is programming with an RTOS like FreeRTOS compared to traditional bare-metal coding on an AVR? What are some key concepts I should focus on to understand how an RTOS manages hardware and interacts with my application code?

Solution
Rtos is different from bare metal
- RTOS: Scheduler manages tasks, hardware abstraction, multitasking, and synchronization.
- Bare-Metal: Direct hardware manipulation, no scheduler, total control.
Focus on:
- Tasks and scheduling
- Hardware abstraction
- Synchronization and communication
- Memory management
- Interrupt handling
Start with simple examples, understand the architecture.
