FreeRTOS - Task Priorities

You set two tasks with the same priority in FreeRTOS. What is a likely issue?

ATasks will share CPU time but may cause unpredictable timing

BTasks may starve lower priority tasks

COne task will never run

DSystem will crash immediately

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand equal priority behavior
Tasks with same priority share CPU time via time slicing.
Step 2: Effects of equal priority
This can cause unpredictable timing because tasks switch frequently, but no starvation occurs.
Final Answer:
Tasks will share CPU time but may cause unpredictable timing -> Option A
Quick Check:
Same priority = time slicing, possible timing issues [OK]

Quick Trick: Same priority tasks share CPU, timing may vary [OK]
