Add chapters "Firmware Frameworks" and "RTOS vs. Super Loop" #31

Closed martinjaeger closed 3 years ago

martinjaeger commented 3 years ago

Initial plan was to integrate both topics into the same chapter (and also the name was "RTOS and state machines").

I'm suggesting to separate both chapters and I chose a different name for the non-RTOS approach: Super Loop (as used in several other locations aswell). State machines are also common in an RTOS approach. And bare-metal is referring more to the HALs an drivers and not to RTOS or not (IMHO).

For explanation of the different approaches I made up a very simple example with some code in Arduino (super loop) and Zephyr (RTOS). Let me know if you find these examples suitable.

For rendered result see here: https://learn.libre.solar/b/rtos/development/firmware_frameworks.html

Thanks @rbtnx for the review. I agree with all the suggested improvements :)
