Overview

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.

Synopsis

This latest release of MicroC/OS has been completely revised and includes many new features, including: a fixed-size block memory manager; user-definable callouts on task creation, task deletion, task switch, and system tick; support of TCB extensions; and stack checking.

Since its first release, Micro C/OS has been ported to run on more than twenty different microprocessors. MicroC/OS-II is backward compatible with the first version of Microc-OS, and the author has also added an entire chapter on porting MicroC/OS-II to different processor architectures. The kernel is written in C for maximum portability. Complete code is included for use in your own applications.
