MicroC
OS II: The Real Time Kernel (With CD-ROM) by Jean
J. Labrosse Book Description: "If you currently do not use an RTOS, read this book
to gain a deep understanding of what these powerful tools can do for your
code. If you're looking at commercial products, read the book to understand
some of the trade-offs and gain an appreciation for what happens when in
an OS." - Jack Ganssle, consultant, teacher, and writer
· Use this complete, portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive RTOS
in your own product · Meets the requirements of safety-critical systems
MicroC/OS-II is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real-time,
multitasking kernel (RTOS) for microprocessors and microcontrollers with
performance comparable to - and in some cases exceeding - commercially
available kernels. Written in ANSI C for maximum portability, MicroC/OS-II
has been ported to more than 40 different processor architectures ranging
from 8- to 64-bit CPUs. Since 1992, MicroC/OS has been used by thousands
of developers worldwide in applications ranging from cameras to avionics.
Certifiable for use in safety-critical systems, this RTOS has been proven
to be robust, reliable, and safe enough for you to use in your own applications.
This book describes the design and implementation of MicroC/OS-II and teaches
you the fundamentals of a multitasking real-time system. You'll learn about
kernel structure, scheduling, context switching, task and time management,
intertask communications and synchronization, dynamic memory allocation,
and much more. The description of the code in this book has been completely
rewritten to make it easier to follow. The presentation of system services
has been significantly expanded from one to six chapters, two of which
address new services: mutual exclusion semaphores (mutexes) and event flags.
The porting guide has been completely revised and includes tips on how
to test a port. Finally, appendix materials have been added to include
coding conventions and quick reference charts.
The companion CD-ROM contains all of the source code for MicroC/OS-II
and ports for the Intel 80x86 processor running in real mode and for the
large model. Within just a few minutes, you'll be able to test some of
the features of MicroC/OS-II on your Windows-based PC.
