Why FreeRTOS Is a Must-Learn Skill for Embedded Engineers FreeRTOS is becoming a core skill for every embedded engineer because today’s products are no longer simple single-loop systems. Devices now need to read sensors, handle connectivity, process data, manage motors, and ensure safety—all at the same time. FreeRTOS makes this possible with clean task-based architecture, predictable scheduling, and reliable timing, enabling engineers to build systems that behave consistently under real-world c
