Running VxWorks on real hardware is not always convenient—development boards can be expensive, and setting up a debugging environment takes time. Fortunately, with QEMU (Quick EMUlator), you can simulate supported platforms on your laptop, allowing you to quickly experience VxWorks 7. This guide will walk you through the setup of running VxWorks on QEMU step … Read more
In embedded development, when facing multicore processors (such as the popular ESP32 dual-core chip), how can we efficiently allocate tasks and avoid resource contention? Today, we will introduce the <span>xTaskCreatePinnedToCore</span> function, which is FreeRTOS’s “task scheduling magic tool” tailored for multicore scenarios. We will guide you through a complete project example to help you fully … Read more
FreeRTOS is an open-source real-time operating system kernel, and tasks are its core execution units. Each task has its own stack and execution context, managed by the scheduler based on priority. In embedded systems like the ESP32, tasks can run on different CPU cores, supporting preemptive scheduling (higher priority tasks can interrupt lower priority tasks). … Read more

Consumer-grade, industrial-grade, and automotive-grade multi-core MCUs have gradually become popular from high-end applications, especially in the automotive sector where some high-end specifications have reached six cores. The operating systems for automotive multi-core MCUs are generally adapted by basic software manufacturers, with FreeRTOS being less common. However, automotive MCUs still hold significance for applications that do … Read more
