Real-Time Kernel Books

Learn the Essentials of Real-Time Operating Systems

These comprehensive and detailed books delve deeply into the operation of real-time kernels. Part I walks through various aspects of μC/OS-III implementation and usage. Part II of each book provides practical, working applications for a popular microcontroller. Each book features hands-on working projects, which allow you to get your application running quickly.

The books can be downloaded for free in PDF format.

These books are written for serious embedded systems programmers, consultants, hobbyists, and students interested in understanding the inner workings of a real-time kernel. μC/OS-III is more than just a great learning platform. It is a full commercial-grade software package, ready to serve as the foundation for a wide range of products.

	µC/OS-III: The Real-Time Kernel for the Freescale Kinetis This book describes practical, working applications for embedded medical devices built on μC/OS-III and Freescale’s TWR-K53N512 medical board (ARM® Cortex™-M4) using Codewarrior and IAR development tools. Each of the included examples feature hands-on working projects, which allow you to get your application running quickly, and can serve as a reference design for implementing μC/OS-III.
