From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: James Dabbs To: Kevin Werner , ecos list Subject: RE: [ECOS] Books Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2001 07:08:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-02/msg00026.html 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.] -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Werner [ mailto:kwerner@yahoo.com ] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 7:03 PM To: ecos list 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).
