This document discusses OSEK/VDX operating systems and concepts related to extended tasks, events, interrupts, counters, and alarms. It begins by explaining extended tasks which can wait for events. It then covers the different states an extended task can be in and how events work through event masks and signaling/waiting services. The document discusses two categories of interrupts in OSEK/VDX and how ISR2 interrupts can make system calls. Finally, it describes how counters track hardware ticks and alarms can be used to perform actions periodically by connecting alarms to counters.
