Book Description
Learn the inner workings of an RTOS with MicroC/OS-II - a completely portable, ROMable, preemptive real-time kernel. Since 1992 MicroC/OS has been used by thousands of developers worldwide in applications ranging from cameras to ATMs. You can use it in your applications, too! MicroC/OS-II is a real-time kernel with performance comparable to many commercially available kernels. This new edition of the best selling C/OS, The Real-Time Kernel contains over 200 pages of new examples and explanations. Jean Labrosse shows you how the kernel was designed and built - and teaches you the fundamentals of a multitasking real-time system. You'll learn about kernel structure, task and time management, intertask communications and synchronization, and dynamic memory allocation in MicroC/OS-II. This latest release of MicroC/OS has been completely revised and includes many new features, including: a fixed-size block memory manager; user-definable callouts on task creation, task deletion, task switch, and system tick; support of TCB extensions; and stack checking. Since its first release, MicroC/OS has been ported to run on more than twenty different microprocessors. MicroC/OS-II is backward compatible with the first version of C/OS, and the author has also added an entire chapter on porting MicroC/OS-II to different processor architectures. The kernel is written in C for maximum portability. Complete code is included for use in your own applications.

Reviews


microC OS is like TOPPERS/ssp(smallest set profile)
I read this book after I have tested TOPPERS/ssp(smallest set profile), which is ITRON smallest set profile, first implementation.
These are simillar concept "micro" or "smallest".
"MicroC OS was certified in an avionics product by the Federal Avion Adinistration(FAA) for use in commercial aircraft by meeting the demanding requirements of the RTCA DO-178B standard"
It is significant different.
But I do not know what procedure is needed in certification.
The book is not tell any more.
But this source code is good understanding what operating system should be.
BTW, I do not know microC/OS II is capable ISO osek OS.
I want to know how to harmonize microC/OS II and ISO osek OS.

Best so far in learning practical RTOS
I've learn more about embedded operating systems and kernels from this book and playing with MicroC/OS II than I ever had by working with uCos, vxworks, embedded Linux, and BSD.


uC/OS-II documentation + RTOS book
This book is not only the documentation of the uC/OS-II RTOS. It also presents many of the general real-time programming concepts in a very pedagogical manner.
I found the book very helpful.

Quality of the book is very good
The book has brand new look and feel. Its very well maintained and delivered on time. Extremely pleased with the service.

Good Book
A good book for who wanna learn about Real Time Operative Systems. Easy to read and full of interesting information
