Embedded Rtos Design by Colin Walls, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Embedded RTOS Design: Insights and Implementationcombines explanations of RTOS concepts with detailed, practical implementation. It gives a detailed description of the implementation of a basic real-time kernel designed to be limited in scope and simple to understand, which could be used for a real design of modest complexity. The kernel features upward-compatibility to a commercial real-time operating system: Nucleus RTOS. Code is provided which can be used without restriction. Gain practical information on:Scheduling, preemption, and interruptsInformation flow (queues, semaphores, etc.) and how they workSignaling between tasks (signals, events, etc.)Memory management (Where does each task get its stack from? What happens if the stack overflows?)The CPU context: storage and retrieval after a context switchWith this book you will be able to:Utilize a basic real-time kernel to develop your own prototypeDesign RTOS featuresUnderstand the facilities of a commercial RTOSExplains the principles of RTOS and shows their practical implementationDemonstrates how to prototype a real-time designCode is fully available for free use | Embedded Rtos Design by Colin Walls, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
