Scheduling #
- We create a static set of tasks, each with a priority.
- Higher numbers are higher priority (in freertos, in linux it’s the other way)
- The scheduler is a function that runs the highest priority ready task
- We start the first task by running the scheduler
- Timers run on the timer interrupt (which the hardware clock does at fix intervals)
