| Welcome to e-News from IAR Systems |
Thank you all who joined our Wireless Day at Embedded Systems Conference a few weeks ago. This month the wireless theme continues with a customer testimonial from Mexico where wireless medical devices can make a difference.
We are also delighted to present something that many have asked for: an introduction to real-time operating systems. RTOS Basics describes how you start developing an application with an RTOS.
Don't miss the new webinar calendar.
Best regards,

| RTOS Basics |
Designing applications for an embedded application is almost always challenging, to say the least. One way to decrease the complexity of your application is to use a task-oriented design and divide a project into different modules (or tasks). Each module is then responsible for some parts of the application. With such a system you would like to be able to specify that some modules (or tasks) are more important than others. That is, some tasks have real-time requirements. They have to respond quickly and correctly. If your system employs a professional RTOS, features that prioritize tasks are already part of the package. In addition to task prioritization, a clean and well-tested API is included that eases communicate between different tasks.

| Embedded R&D secures Mexico's national welfare |
In the 1980s and 1990s, plans to move electronics manufacturing companies to Asia were cause for concern regarding Mexico's future. Decisive efforts to promote education and R&D—in partnerships between universities and companies—turned that trend around.
Right now, embedded technology products are developed in Mexico, for production in Mexico. Design activities complement production and minimize vulnerability when Mexico is no longer a typical low-wage country.
