Features: This book is highly valuable for technical personnel in domestic software enterprises who are about to or currently engaged in real-time embedded system development and management. It is also an excellent reference for students and faculty in computer engineering and technology, electronics, information, and communication-related fields, especially for students in software colleges who are interested in real-time embedded system development. The book first introduces the concepts of real-time and embedded systems, future development trends, and the fundamental knowledge and initialization issues of embedded system development from the perspective of the real world. It then covers real-time operating systems, providing a detailed discussion of tasks, signals, message queues, other kernel objects, and RTOS services. Among these, it delves into exceptions and interrupts, timers and timer services, I/O subsystems, and memory management issues, offering typical operations and usage methods for these services. The book employs a top-down approach to explain how to decompose concurrent modules in real-time embedded application systems. It discusses resource usage and commonly used practical design patterns from the perspectives of communication and synchronization. Additionally, it explores the theoretical causes of deadlocks in real-time systems and presents solutions to resolve deadlocks. This book is highly valuable for technical personnel in domestic software enterprises who are about to or currently engaged in real-time embedded system development and management; it is also an excellent reference for students and faculty in computer engineering and technology, electronics, information, and communication-related fields, especially for students in software colleges who are interested in real-time embedded system development.
