Cause : RTOS overrun warning comes when a real-time task or thread in the system failed to meet its deadline or complete its execution within the specified time frame.
The "overrun warning" indicates that such a situation has occurred, and the real-time task has overrun its allocated time slot. This can happen due to various reasons, including:
-
High task load: If the system is overloaded with tasks, it may not be able to allocate sufficient processing time to critical real-time tasks, leading to overrun.
-
Priority inversion: In systems with multiple tasks with different priorities, priority inversion can occur when a lower priority task holds a resource needed by a higher priority task, causing the higher priority task to be delayed.
-
Resource contention: Competition for shared resources such as CPU, memory, or I/O devices can lead to delays in task execution.
-
Interrupt latency: Delays introduced by interrupt handling routines can affect the responsiveness of real-time tasks.
-
Inefficient algorithms: Poorly optimized algorithms or inefficient code can cause tasks to take longer to execute than necessary.
