| MicroC/OS II Second Edition describes the design and implementation of the MicroC/OS-II real-time operating system (RTOS). In addition to its value as a reference to the kernel, it is an extremely detailed and highly readable design study particularly useful to the embedded systems student. While documenting the design and implementation of the kernel, the book also walks the reader through the many related development issues: how to adapt the kernel for a new microprocessor, how to install the kernel, and how to structure the applications that run on the kernel. This edition features documentation for several important new features of the software, including new real-time services, floating points, and coding conventions. The accompanying CDROM includes complete code for the MicroC/OS-II kernel.
This book is intended for embedded system programmers, consultants and students interested in real-time operating
systems. μC/OS-II is a high performance, deterministic real-time kernel and can be embedded in commercial products
(see Appendix F, Licensing). Instead of writing your own kernel, you should consider μC/OS-II. You will find, as I
did, that writing a kernel is not as easy as it first looks.
I’m assuming that you know C and have a minimum knowledge of assembly language. You should also understand
microprocessor architectures. |
