Embedded RTOS Design: Insights and Implementation combines 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 interrupts - Information flow (queues, semaphores, etc.) and how they work - Signaling 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 switch With this book you will be able to: - Utilize a basic real-time kernel to develop your own prototype - Design RTOS features - Understand the facilities of a commercial RTOS - Explains the principles of RTOS and shows their practical implementation - Demonstrates how to prototype a real-time design - Code is fully available for free use

Colin Walls has over forty years' experience in the electronics industry, largely involved with embedded software - very much a pioneer in this specialty.He has been a frequent presenter at conferences and seminars including:• Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose and Boston• Embedded World, Nuremberg• Arm Tech Con, California• Mentor events world-wide• Numerous partner eventsColin has authored a great many technical articles and one of the first books on embedded software ['Programming Dedicated Microprocessors'; Macmillan Education, 1986]. His most recent publication is 'Embedded Software: The Works' [2nd edition; Newnes, 2012], which addresses a wide range of embedded software topics.He is an embedded software technologist with Mentor, a Siemens business, and maintains a blog at http://blogs.mentor.com/colinwalls.
