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

Walls, Colin
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 events Colin 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. Colin is based in the UK, where he lives with his family. Away from work, his main interests are photography, reading/writing, and food and drink.
