Features: This book presents the fundamental knowledge and design methods of real-time system software, and treats real-time multitasking operating systems, real-time control local area network protocols, and distributed real-time systems as an organic whole. Starting from practical applications, it first introduces how real-time systems are established, describing the implementation mechanisms of real-time task management, clock management, memory management, device management, and file systems, among others. Then, it explains several design issues of LAN software in real-time systems, introduces three LAN protocols with different styles, and further details the implementation process of the PROWAYC protocol, a LAN protocol used for real-time control. Building on this foundation, it presents the implementation mechanisms of task communication in distributed systems. Finally, it covers several design issues in distributed systems.
