We recently introduced the CMSIS RTOS, an API that increases RTOS portability. It’s often called a “wrapper” for other RTOS, but how good can a wrapper possibly be at managing variables or primitives like semaphores and mutexes?

In this Engineering Hour, we’ll find out. Seasoned IoT developer Edison Ngunjiri will start by defining mutexes and semaphores before walking through their basic operation and use in the context of CMSIS RTOS. Then he’ll share and run example code to give you a first-hand look at CMSIS semaphore and mutex management in action.

It’s all live starting Sunday at 15:00 UTC. We’ll see you there.
