Build Your Own RealTime OS (RTOS 1) From Ground Up™ on ARM 1
Create an ARM real-time kernel with schedulers, threads, and context switching
Created by Israel Gbati
Explore the inner workings of real-time operating systems by building your own ARM-based RTOS. You'll create schedulers, threads, and kernel components while learning how real-time execution is managed on Cortex-M processors. Gain hands-on experience with board support and low-level system features.

What You Will Learn
You'll start by setting up the development environment and building essential drivers. Each section introduces a core RTOS concept, then guides you through implementing it step by step. By assembling the kernel and scheduler from scratch, you'll see how each part fits together and affects system behavior.
Key Features
- Build and debug schedulers, threads, and context switching for ARM Cortex-M systems
- Design and implement kernel components to manage real-time execution and timing
- Gain practical skills for debugging and teaching RTOS concepts through direct implementation
Target Audience
This course is ideal for embedded firmware developers, microcontroller programmers, and students who want to deepen their understanding of RTOS internals. If you have experience with C programming and embedded systems, you'll gain the confidence to design, debug, and explain real-time kernels on ARM platforms.
