This book explains the design and implementation of C/OS [pronounced "MicroC/OS"], the Micro-Controller Operating System, a portable, ROMable, preemptive, real-time, multitasking kernel for microprocessors. The system is written in C with assembly language code for the target microprocessor kept to a minimum. It can be ported to any microprocessor that provides a stack pointer and allows the CPU registers to be pushed onto and popped from the stack. The C compiler must be ANSI compatible and provide in-line assembly or language extensions that allow you to enable and disable interrupts. The system can manage up to 63 tasks, with performance comparable to many commercially available kernels. An earlier version of C/OS was published in the May and June 1992 issues of Embedded Systems Programming magazine. The code available from that article on bulletin board systems is uncommented. The code provided in "C/OS" the book is fully commented. The current release of the companion code disk V 1.08 has been updated in response to reader response. See the author's Release Notes for more information on revisions to the code. The text explains the fundamentals of multitasking real-time systems, details the design decisions of this kernel, and includes a user's manual for the system. Appendices provide complete code for the system, a port for the Intel 80186/80188 chip, a survey of real-time kernel manufacturers, and references to the technical literature on real-time and embedded systems. Source code is provided, so you can add your own custom features. Integrating C/OS in your application can be done in less than one day. C/OS can be ported to a different microprocessor within a few days, because assembly code has been kept to a minimum. 
Audience: To use the book, you should be familiar with the ANSI standard for C, and have at least a minimum understanding of assembly language for the Intel 80x86 family of microprccessors.

MicroC/OS-II: The Real-Time Kernel

Learn the essentials of real-time operating systems. Part I of this comprehensive and detailed book provides a thorough explanation of Micriμm's popular µC/OS-III real-time kernel. Part II describes practical, working applications for embedded medical devices built on µC/OS-III and Freescale's TWR-K53N512 medical board (ARM® Cortex™-M4) using Codewarrior and IAR development tools. Each of the included examples feature hands-on working projects, which allow you to get your application running quickly, and can serve as a reference design for implementing µC/OS-III. This book is written for serious embedded systems programmers, consultants, hobbyists, and students interested in understanding the inner workings of a real-time kernel. μC/OS-III is more than just a great learning platform. It is a full commercial-grade software package, ready to serve as the foundation for a wide range of products. μC/OS-III is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real-time, multitasking kernel designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of today's embedded systems. μC/OS-III is the successor to the highly popular μC/OS-II real-time kernel and can use most of μC/OS-II's ports with only minor modifications. Some of the features of μC/OS-III are: 
<ul>
<li>Preemptive multitasking with round-robin scheduling of tasks at the same priority. </li>
<li>Supports an unlimited number of tasks and other kernel objects. </li>
<li>Rich set of services: semaphores, mutual exclusion semaphores with full priority inheritance, event flags, message queues, timers, fixed-size memory block management, and more. </li>
<li>Built-in performance measurements. </li>

Micrium

This book puts the spotlight on how a real-time kernel works. Using Micrium's uC/OS-III as a reference, the book consists of two complete parts. The first describes real-time kernels in generic terms. Part II provides examples to the reader, using STMicroelectronics' STM32F107 microcontroller, based on the popular ARM Cortex-M3 architecture. A companion evaluation board (uC/Eval-STM32F107) NOT INCLUDED, and tools (IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM), enable the reader to be up and running quickly, and have an amazing hands-on experience, leading to a high level of proficiency. This book is written for serious embedded systems programmers, consultants, hobbyists, and students interested in understanding the inner workings of a real-time kernel. uC/OS-III is not just a great learning platform, but also a full commercial-grade software package, ready to be part of a wide range of products. uC/OS-III is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real-time, multitasking kernel designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of today's embedded systems. uC/OS-III is the successor to the highly popular uC/OS-II real-time kernel but can use most of uC/OS-II's ports with minor modifi cations.
