- recommendations on good books on RTOS needed
- Posted by Chen Lin on November 10th, 2003
hi,
Could anyone give recommendations on RTOS books?
Specifically, books talk a little in-depth on general design and
implementation of RTOS, such as scheduling, concurrency, interrupt
handling, device drivers; also, comparison of different RTOSes such as
VxWorks. Basically, good books for a senior embedded software
developer interested in RTOS area.
Appreciated,
Chen

I have never encountered 3rd party author write a book covering
RTOSes. It looks like you'll have to read thru each vendor's manual.
Other than that, I think you can get by with reading general Operating
Systems textbooks. Even after reading such books in school, I never
really learned much about the theory of scheduling, concurrency, and
interrupts that I can apply to a closed-source RTOS which I can't see
the source code anyways. Maybe for Linux, it will help.
If you want to see a university course on RTOSes, go to www.google.com
Type in "Embry-Riddle", "VxWorks". It will teach you the basics of
programming VxWorks, LynxOS,Unix, etc., or go to:
