MicroC/OS II Second Edition describes the design and implementation of the MicroC/OS-II real-time operating system (RTOS). In addition to its value as a reference to the kernel, it is an extremely detailed and highly readable design study particularly useful to the embedded systems student. While documenting the design and implementation of the kernel, the book also walks the reader through the many related development issues: how to adapt the kernel for a new microprocessor, how to install the kernel, and how to structure the applications that run on the kernel. This edition features documentation for several important new features of the software, including new real-time services, floating points, and coding conventions. The accompanying CDROM includes complete code for the MicroC/OS-II kernel.

""MicroC/OS-II...does much more than simply present usable source code (though it does that also). It explains WHY the code is the way it is."

Outstanding!,

This review is from: MicroC/OS-II: The Real-Time Kernel (Hardcover)
Jean LaBrosse is one of those people who has that uncanny knack for taking a complicated issue and making it seem simple. His MicroC/OS is a wonderful example. The book does much more than simply present usable source code (though it does that also). It explains _WHY_ the code is the way it is. MicroC/OS II is very much in today's spirit of open-source software. It is rapidly becoming, for real-time embedded systems, what Linux represents for desktops. I also agree with another reader, who points out that the OS is not just a good OS for real-time systems, but a good, _RELIABLE_, OS in general. If only we could get Microsoft to follow LaBrosse's KISS approaches.

A truly outstanding effort; an excellent product!,
By A Customer
This review is from: MicroC/OS-II: The Real-Time Kernel (Hardcover)
I have been involved with the development of embedded real-time systems since 1969 and have written a good number of kernels in that time. After swapping notes with the author, he convinced me to try uC/OS-II rather than doing another "roll my own". I'm glad he did. The book is extremely well written, clearly explaining the key concepts and his implementation. The software itself is very functional. I plan to use it in several applications I have on the boards. I would highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating an embedded system project.

Embedded developers need this book!,
By bill@wynde.com (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MicroC/OS-II: The Real-Time Kernel (Hardcover)
This is a very valuable book and the RTOS it comes with might be all you ever need. We are using it in an unmanned aerial vehicle project. Knowing what every line of code in the OS is doing is a big advantage for us because of certification issues. We're also not wasting performance on features we don't need. Check it out. It might be the only RTOS you'll ever need.
