MicroC OS II: The Real Time Kernel (With CD-ROM)
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.
Why Read This Book
You should read this book because it walks you through a complete, production-grade RTOS implementation (μC/OS‑II) with source code and practical guidance on porting, installation, and application structure. You'll learn real-time concepts—task scheduling, inter-task communication, synchronization, and interrupt handling—by studying concrete code and the design decisions behind the kernel.
Who Will Benefit
Best suited for intermediate-to-advanced embedded firmware engineers or students who need to understand RTOS internals, port an RTOS to a new MCU, or design deterministic real-time applications.
