Abstract
A real-time operating system (OS) for an embedded system may be configured for asynchronous handling of input and output (I/O) operations. When application code is executing, the OS may be configured to register I/O interrupts and queue I/O operations. When no application code is executing, the OS may be configured to call appropriate interrupt handlers. As result, the OS may maintain the real-time execution that may be required of applications on an embedded system while providing the flexibility and scalability offered by an operating system.

A method of operating an embedded system, the method comprising:
- establishing communication with an initial embedded system, wherein the embedded system and the initial embedded system are in a mesh network;
- determining if the initial embedded system is a desired embedded system;
- and
- establishing control of an input/output interface of the initial embedded system to establish communication with a next embedded system, in response to the initial embedded system not being the desired embedded system.
An embedded system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions configured to be executed by the processor, the instructions comprising an operating system configured to:
- establish communication with an initial embedded system that is in the mesh network;
- determine if the initial embedded system is a desired embedded system;
- if the initial embedded system is not the desired embedded system, establish control of an output interface of the initial embedded system and control the interface to establish communication with a next embedded system;
- and
- determine if the next embedded system is the desired embedded system.
A method of operating an embedded system, the method comprising:
- establishing communication with an initial embedded system, wherein the embedded system and the initial embedded system are in a mesh network;
- determining if the initial embedded system is an embedded system with which communication is desired;
- interfacing with a next embedded system via an interface of the initial embedded system in response to the initial embedded system not being the desired embedded system.
