Real-Time Task Scheduler Simulation

This repository contains a simulation of real-time task scheduling using the FreeRTOS framework. The project implements various task scheduling algorithms, including:

• Rate Monotonic (RM) Scheduling
• First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) Scheduling
• Task Management with Periodic and Sporadic Tasks

Features

1. Task Creation and Scheduling:

   • Tasks with different execution times, periods, and deadlines are created using FreeRTOS.
   • Scheduling is handled by either the RM or FCFS scheduler, with tests included for both implementations.

2. Task Suspension and Resumption:

   • A mechanism to suspend and resume tasks dynamically, demonstrated in the handling of "Task 1."

3. Sporadic Task Management:

   • The system also supports sporadic tasks, which are created with randomized intervals and managed with high priority to simulate interrupts.

4. Real-Time Simulation:

   • The project simulates real-time task execution, providing detailed logging of task start, end, and missed deadlines.

Branches

The codebase is organized across different branches to facilitate switching between different implementations:

• master: Initial setup and project formatting.
• task_sim: Contains the core task simulation, including periodic tasks and sporadic task implementation.
• fcfs_scheduler: Implements the FCFS scheduling algorithm and its test cases.
• rm_scheduler: Implements the Rate Monotonic scheduling algorithm and its test cases.

Task Overview

• Periodic Tasks:
  Four tasks with different priorities and periods (e.g., 250ms, 500ms, 750ms, and 1000ms) simulate real-world periodic task execution.

• Sporadic Task:
  A high-priority sporadic task is implemented to simulate interrupts or randomly occurring tasks in the system.

• Task Manager:
  The Task Manager oversees task suspension and resumption, managing task states dynamically.

Usage

1. Cloning the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/username/repository-name.git

2. Switching between branches:
   Each branch contains a specific scheduling algorithm or task simulation feature. Switch between them as necessary:

   git checkout fcfs_scheduler
   git checkout rm_scheduler

3. Building the project:
   The main file is main.c in the Project directory. After making any changes, you can build the project using the following command:

   make

4. Running the simulation:
   Once built, you can run your FreeRTOS simulation with:

   ./FreeRTOS-Sim
