Real-Time Embedded Systems: Open-Source Operating Systems Perspective
From the Foreword:
"…the presentation of real-time scheduling is probably the best in terms of clarity I have ever read in the professional literature. Easy to understand, which is important for busy professionals keen to acquire (or refresh) new knowledge without being bogged down in a convoluted narrative and an excessive detail overload. The authors managed to largely avoid theoretical-only presentation of the subject, which frequently affects books on operating systems.
… an...

Real-Time Agility: The Harmony/ESW Method for Real-Time and Embedded Systems Development
Real-time and embedded systems face the same development challenges as traditional software: shrinking budgets and shorter timeframes. However, these systems can be even more difficult to successfully develop due to additional requirements for timeliness, safety, reliability, minimal resource use, and, in some cases, the need to support rigorous industry standards.
In Real-Time Agility, leading embedded-systems consultant Bruce Powel Douglass reveals how to leverage the best...
