FreeRTOS - RTOS Fundamentals

AAssign higher priority to the telemetry logger to avoid data loss

BAssign equal priority to both tasks to ensure fairness

CAssign higher priority to the flight control task and lower priority to the telemetry logger

DRun both tasks at the lowest priority to save CPU

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify task criticality
Flight control is hard real-time and must meet strict deadlines.
Step 2: Prioritize accordingly
Assigning higher priority to flight control ensures deadlines are met; telemetry logger can tolerate delays.
Final Answer:
Assign higher priority to the flight control task and lower priority to the telemetry logger -> Option C
Quick Check:
Hard real-time tasks get higher priority than soft real-time tasks [OK]

Quick Trick: Hard real-time tasks get higher priority than soft real-time [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Giving equal priority to hard and soft real-time tasks
Prioritizing soft real-time over hard real-time
Assigning lowest priority to critical tasks
