Hi Claudia,

I have similar project, according to functionality and demands you described.

We choose Threadx as RTOS. It is simple enought and has realtime scheduling. The bare-metal library is actually core part of Threadx drivers for Cyclone V SOC.

My answer to the question is yes, the RTOS (like Threadx, vxworks, etc) are more suitable. The reason is multitasking support and scheduling.
