MicroC OS II: The Real Time Kernel (With CD-ROM) 2nd Edition

Almost Mint condition !No writings or annotations. CD was intact. Most of all the content material was just what I expected.

every thing was allright

Actually I think that it's a great book only if you have a strong background about how a kernel or RTOS works. I've spent a lot of time reading a theoretical books that teach you what a kernel is about, so for me the reading was easy. The fact that the book includes the source code makes it awesome, 'cause you can see inside a truly real kernel, and eventually write your own (what is I want to do). But if you are an unexperienced user of kernels, or just want to learn something about it, you should start somewhere else. The one a recomend you is that of Andy Tanenbaum, the creator of MINIX (minix is a tiny unix running in an intel 8086 cpu), and this other one that I bought here: Real-Time Concepts for Embedded Systems by Qing Li, Caroline Yao. After you deeply understand what a pipe o scheduler is, among other things, then you should start thinking about coding, because the book has some lack of theory. Anyway I strongly recomend it for experienced users. Have a nice coding =)

good book

Book is excellent technical resource for uCOS(which is expected from the author)The things I did not like are actually related to formatting:- weird text/font is hard to read- there is much room for improvement on the diagrams.

An older book, but very informative.

extremly good book

There is no need to further compliment about this book. This is definitely the only or the best book in real-time kernel! The author shows you how to write a kernal from scratch. Finally, I got to know the 'secret internal' of a sempahore despite its fancy name. The code also details the operation of the scheduler, task communication, memory management etc that are the fundemental yet important elements of a real time kernel.However, the biggest inadequacy is the lack of examples to showcase how to use the uC/Os II in real life application. Maybe the other book by the author covers this area but one good example would really complete this book. On the other hand, although the code should work perfectly, but the coding style and and page layout are a bit difficult to follow. In other words, the code is not very readable, and I need to flip the pages back and forth for the code snippets and its text descriptions.Anyway, this is a great book. Hopefully the 3rd edition will get better. (argh, but it is pricey)

Great book on RTOS design and implementation. Book in good condition

Das Buch kann ich nur empfehlen. Für embedded-Programmierer ist es ein Muss. An Beispielen aus dem Buch kann man viel über Low-Lewel-Programmierung und embedded-Konzepte von RTOS lernen. 6+ Sterne.
