Features: T-Kernel is a source-code-open embedded real-time operating system kernel, holding about 60% of the global embedded microprocessor operating system market share. This book starts with the relationship and structure of T-Kernel, T-Engine, and ITRON, and provides a detailed introduction to the T-Kernel specification, general T-Kernel specification, T-Kernel/OS functions, T-Kernel/SM functions, T-Kernel/DS functions, and T-Monitor specification. It particularly offers a meticulous and comprehensive explanation of T-Kernel functions and usage specifications. The book is divided into five parts: Part 1 gives a brief introduction to the origin of T-Engine and the relationship and structure of T-Kernel, T-Engine, and ITRON; Part 2 provides a detailed introduction to the T-Kernel specification, general T-Kernel specification, T-Kernel/OS functions, T-Kernel/SM functions, and T-Kernel/DS functions; Part 3 offers a detailed explanation of the T-Monitor specification and the functions used; Part 4 is a chronicle of T-Engine and references; and Part 5 lists T-Kernel-related functions and error codes. Together, these five parts comprehensively and systematically illustrate the standard specifications of T-Kernel. This book serves as a manual for those learning and using T-Kernel, and can be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in embedded system application development, as well as for faculty and students in relevant fields at higher education institutions.
