Features: μC/OSII is a well-known, open-source real-time kernel, specifically designed for embedded applications. It can be used on various 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers or DSPs. Since its inception, μC/OS has been in use for over a decade and has been widely applied in numerous fields. This book is the second edition of MicroC/OSII The Real-Time Kernel, with significant improvements and upgrades based on the first edition (V2.0). Through the analysis and description of the μC/OSII source code, it explains the basic concepts of multitasking and real-time systems, competition and scheduling algorithms, inter-task synchronization and communication, memory and timing management, as well as how to handle priority inversion issues. It also introduces how to port μC/OSII to different CPUs and how to debug the ported code. The accompanying CD-ROM provides the complete source code of μC/OSII V2.52, which has been FAA safety-certified, as well as examples that can run on PCs. This book can be used as a textbook for embedded real-time systems courses in universities or as a training manual for engineers. It is also suitable for embedded application developers to study and use.
