Message-ID: <F12384A3C489D411944100B0D07C673A065EC0@NS1-2> (raw)

Douglas Comer wrote a series of books on these general subjects, narrating
through the development of the academic "Xinu" operating system.  They are
essentially text books and are very useful both for reading and as
reference.  You might search for his name in amazon.

[Many people actually use Xinu in embedded systems, essentially borrowing
the OS and TCP/IP stack from the source code presented in the book.]

Subject: Re: [ECOS] Books 


Since there aren't any eCos specific third party
books, does anyone have recommendations for general
embedded system programming books that would help a
new ecos programmer?  Looking for something not too
focussed on one micro or programming language.  I'd
prefer more information on:

 - operating systems (in general, embedded, real-time)
 - communication protocols
 - interfacing various peripherals & components (RAM,
DSP, UARTs, converters, etc...)
 - general useful techniques, algorithms, etc...  

Each of these subjects could be a book in itself I'm
sure, but one reference to get the basics of
everything would be pretty handy (especially for
people with more of an EE background than CS).

Thanks in advance,

=====
