Design and Implementation of the RT-Thread Operating System

<p>Since the release of V0.01 in 2006 to the present V4.0 version RT-Thread has developed a reputation among developers for its open source strategy. RT-Thread has gained a large following among members of the embedded open source community in China with hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts. RT-Thread is widely used in energy automotive medical consumer electronics among other applications making it a mature and stable open source embedded operating system.</p><p>The purpose of <b>RT-Thread RTOS Design and Implementation</b> is to create an easy learning curve for mastering RT-Thread so that more developers can participate in the development of RT-Thread and work together to create an open source tiny and beautiful Internet of Things operating system. The book’s first part introduces the RT-Thread kernel and starts with an overview of RT-Thread before covering thread management clock management inter-thread synchronization inter-thread communication memory management and interrupt management. The second part begins with RT-Thread kernel porting and explains how to port RT-Thread to a hardware board to run it. The second part also introduces RT-Thread components and discusses the Env development environment FinSH console device management and network framework. Additional topics covered include: </p><ul> <li>The I/O device framework</li> <li>Virtual file systems</li> <li>Peripheral interfaces</li> <li>Devices including the PIN device UART device and ADC device among others. </li> </ul><p>Each chapter features code samples as well as helpful tables and graphs so you can practice as you learn as well as perform your own experiments.</p>
