Typical synchronization mechanisms used in an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) are techniques that manage the coordination and safe sharing of resources among multiple tasks running concurrently. These mechanisms—such as semaphores, mutexes, event flags, message queues, mailboxes, and barriers—help prevent race conditions, ensure mutual exclusion, and maintain deterministic behavior in time-critical applications. By enabling controlled access…
