Modern Embedded Systems Programming Course - #25 RTOS Part-4: Efficient blocking of threads

This fourth lesson on Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) shows how to replace the horribly inefficient polling for events with efficient BLOCKING of threads. Specifically, in this lesson, you will add a blocking delay function to the MiROS RTOS and you'll learn about some far-reaching implications of thread blocking on the RTOS design. ------ Resources: Companion web page for this video course: https://www.state-machine.com/quickstart GitHub repository for projects for this video course: https://github.com/QuantumLeaps/modern-embedded-programming-course Transcript of this lesson: https://www.state-machine.com/course/lesson25.txt Video credits: The video clip showing the introduction of a timesharing system at MIT in 1963 comes from: https://youtu.be/Anxxe8SdX78 Music credits: The background music comes from: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/straight
