In this chapter, we've covered how to identify real-time requirements, as well as the different platforms available for implementing real-time systems. At this point, you should have an appreciation for both the wide range of systems that can have real-time requirements, as well as the variety of ways there are to meet those real-time requirements.
In the next chapter, we'll start digging into MCU-based real-time firmware by taking a closer look at two different programming models—super loops and RTOS tasks.
