From the Foreword:

"…the presentation of real-time scheduling is definitely one of the most sensible when it comes to readability i've got ever learn within the specialist literature. effortless to appreciate, that's very important for busy pros willing to procure (or refresh) new wisdom with no being slowed down in a convoluted narrative and an over the top aspect overload. The authors controlled to principally keep away from theoretical-only presentation of the topic, which often impacts books on working structures.

… an imperative [resource] to achieve a radical realizing of the real-time structures from the working structures point of view, and to stick brand new with the hot tendencies and genuine advancements of the open-source real-time working systems."

―Richard Zurawski, ISA crew, San Francisco, California, USA

Real-time embedded platforms are crucial to the worldwide technological and social area, yet references nonetheless hardly provide pros the enough mixture of concept and functional examples required to satisfy extensive fiscal, protection, and different calls for on procedure improvement. equally, teachers have lacked a source to assist scholars totally comprehend the sphere. the knowledge was once in the market, although usually on the summary point, fragmented and scattered all through literature from varied engineering disciplines and computing sciences.

Accounting for readers’ various useful wishes and adventure degrees, Real Time Embedded structures: Open-Source working structures Perspective deals a holistic evaluation from the operating-systems point of view. It offers a long-awaited reference on real-time working structures and their virtually boundless program power within the embedded method area.

Balancing the already considerable assurance of working structures with the principally overlooked real-time features, or "physicality," the authors study numerous real looking case experiences to introduce important theoretical fabric. in addition they speak about renowned open-source working systems―Linux and FreRTOS, in particular―to aid embedded-system designers establish the advantages and weaknesses in identifying even if to undertake extra conventional, much less robust, thoughts for a project.
