#180625 - I think this got away ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I think this got away ...

My original post was on this issue

Is the 'tradition' (DOS, the C library, ....) of wait I/O part of the reason for the prevalence of RTOS use.

In my minicomputer days (when RTOS was but a glint in its fathers eye) I never used wait I/O.

I believe that often the reason for using a RTOS is to avoid task b stalling while task a waits for I/O to complete which would never be the issue if no_wait_I/O was used.

I DO use a RTOS for some things, just think it is often used 'automatically' where not using it would be better.
