A comprehensive introduction to the 80x86 Protected Mode RTOS directly from the designer of the μPMOS system, intelligible and fun to read:
In an entertaining style, the authoress explains how a system composed of real objects naturally evolves from the basis of Protected Mode, segments, and how to build a highly robust, ultra compact operating environment on top of them. Memory management, real-time event processing, multitasking, and operational robustness are central topics intelligibly analysed.
By doing so, key features of μPMOS—such as its deterministic micro object system kernel, installable scheduling policies, extensible application environments, and signal handler object chains—are portrayed step by step as well as its many unique characteristics, like zone-based memory meshing, transparent service requests, or time domains. This portraying is enriched with enlightening asides why or why not particular features were included in the actual system design.
This book might become the ultimate companion for anyone interested in using, programming and re-implementing μPMOS and the ideal reading prior to studying the technical references. Anyway, because of its covering general OS design problems, it also is a rich source of information any serious system programmer will appreciate.
