programming in rtos

Hi Jelydonut
Listen one way is to really get "hands on" a piece of soft.Not so theoretical but practical .For that i will have to recomend you UcosII .. There are good books that describe the OS as well as good background on scheduling etc .This OS is simple to put in application and well written
So don't waste your time with too primitive simple OS .UcosII is a very useful and proven piece of code

programming rtos

hi
you can also check out freertos.org .... the source is documented in good way .

u need to understand about . multitasking concepts like


context switching
scheduling
inter task communication
semaphore
and some memory managent , task management concepts ...

first start with theory and then work with some RTOS like UCOS , FreeRTOS and get to know RTOS fully . then u`ll be in a posistion to customize a RTOS source to suit your board . OR even u can write a small RTOS kernel for ur board

hope it helped u
best of luck

rtps programming

anyone has any experience in TinyOS ? .. I heard that some companies are using it in their ZigBee solution ..

embedded rtos programming

Tiny OS is developed by Berkley People and is specifically for Sensors.which are very low in resources. interms of power,memory,communiation bandwidth.
so i guess it can be a good replacement for an RTOS in a very low resource device.
