Real-time Operating Systems courses can help you learn task scheduling, resource management, interrupt handling, and system performance optimization. You can build skills in designing efficient algorithms, debugging real-time applications, and ensuring system reliability under time constraints. Many courses introduce tools like FreeRTOS, VxWorks, and QNX, that support implementing real-time applications in embedded systems and IoT devices.
