Real Time Scheduler on TI Robot

Abstract— The ability to run multiple jobs on a single Micro Controller is vital to get the full utilization out of components. However having many jobs running on a single controller creates problems of when each job receives processor time and how each job can be scheduled to ensure every job meets it’s deadline. RMS (Rate-monotonic scheduling) and EDF (Earliest Deadline First) scheduling is one method to insure this. This paper takes an in depth look at an implementation method for these two schedulers on the MSP432P401R REV D Micro Controller and considers different practice trade offs that were made in the design process. It will then work through the testing of the schedulers to insure that they are working properly and can handle high loads.
