| Inter-Task Synchronization Mechanisms in IAR PowerPac |
To increase efficiency, an embedded RTOS application is always divided into multiple concurrent tasks. Usually, a program coordinates two or more of the tasks, an activity which is called inter-task synchronization.
This article explains why inter-task synchronization is needed and introduces the synchronization services provided by IAR PowerPac Kernel. In addition, an example illustrates how these mechanisms can solve different problems.

| Using IAR Solution Selector to pick the right software package for an MCU-based application |
There is a significant chance that your next MCU-based project is going to make you look at what kind of IP stack, USB stack, file system, CAN driver, and RTOS you are going to need. There are two ways of satisfying these requirements; develop the software yourself (or reuse something from a previous project) or go shopping for a commercial or open source solution. Over the years, IAR Systems has developed a huge ecosystem, incorporating both hardware and software vendors. How can you as a user benefit from this?
