Good points- and it is hard to get training on using an RTOS, apart from courses from the vendors, who have little interest in telling you where an RTOS is not appropriate.My approach is to look at the timing requirements of the system. If a lot of different things happen at different speeds or frequencies then an RTOS can buy you a lot. If you don’t care when things happen, so long as you get to them eventually the the RTOS may be more trouble than it is worth.

you’re right. Forget about the RTOS… its all about the tools.
