readability, employs a minimum of multi-statementmacros, while making extensive use of simple macros: #define LED1 (_LATB13) allows clearstatements such as LED = 1, which turns an LED on.4.3 SimplicityMany libraries encourage extensive use of multi-threaded programming. Traditionally, themain() function performs foreground processing, while interrupt service routines (ISRs) handledevice I/O. Even worse, traditional approaches to RTOS rely on multiple threads that interact viasemaphores. This approach leads to complex, difficult to debug designs with subtle problems,including livelock, deadlock, starvation, and data corruption when shared variables are not ac-cessed properly. Regardless of these perils, many courses expect students to successfully
