Synopses & Reviews
This primer begins with an introduction to the special tools and issues that face embedded systems developers. It then delves into the details of real-time programming using a real-world, commercial real-time operating system (RTOS). Objects and services that are a part of most RTOS kernels are described, and real-time system design is explored in detail. Readers learn how to deconstruct an application into units, and how to combine these units with other objects and services to create standard building blocks called "software circuits." This process yields a sound understanding of the common design patterns and program structures.
Synopsis
'... a very good balance between the theory and practice of real-time embedded system designs.' —

Develop a working understanding of the common design patterns and program structures of RTOSs so you can create your own standard building blocks. You learn how to decompose an application into units, and how to combine these units with other objects and services to create standard building blocks.
