&lt;p&gt;A four-project sequence building real-time scheduling infrastructure inside FreeRTOS on STM32 hardware, working up from task primitives to resource-sharing protocols that bound priority inversion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-this-matters"&gt;Why this matters&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FreeRTOS gives you preemptive fixed-priority scheduling and mutexes. It does &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; give you periodic task abstractions, deadline tracking, or the protocols that make shared resources safe under hard real-time constraints. Those you build — and building them is how the theory stops being theory.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
