Real-time Systems Development with RTEMs and Multicore Processors
Real-time Systems Development with RTEMS and Multicore Processors by Gedare Bloom, published by CRC Press in 2020, is a comprehensive resource spanning 534 pages. This edition addresses the complexities of developing real-time embedded applications in the context of multicore processors, particularly within the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) domains. The book explores the underlying theories that enable multicore real-time functionality and discusses the role of real-time operating systems (RTOS) in application design.
Readers will find practical guidance on using the Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) RTOS, which is open-source and supports a wide array of CPU architectures and system boards. The content covers essential topics such as cross-compilation, concurrent programming models, real-time scheduling algorithms, and the implementation of key RTOS features. Additionally, the book delves into the challenges posed by multicore hardware and advances in real-time theory, making it a valuable reference for those involved in embedded systems engineering and application development.
Official synopsis Publisher
The proliferation of multicore processors in the embedded market for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) makes developing real-time embedded applications increasingly difficult. What is the underlying theory that makes multicore real-time possible? How does theory influence application design? When is a real-time operating system (RTOS) useful? What RTOS features do applications need? How does a mature RTOS help manage the complexity of multicore hardware?
Real-Time Systems Development with RTEMS and Multicore Processors answers these questions and more with exemplar Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) RTOS to provide concrete advice and examples for constructing useful, feature-rich applications. RTEMS is free, open-source software that supports multi-processor systems for over a dozen CPU architectures and over 150 specific system boards in applications spanning the range of IoT and CPS domains such as satellites, particle accelerators, robots, racing motorcycles, building controls, medical devices, and more.
The focus of this book is on enabling real-time embedded software engineering while providing sufficient theoretical foundations and hardware background to understand the rationale for key decisions in RTOS and application design and implementation. The topics covered in this book include:
- Cross-compilation for embedded systems development
- Concurrent programming models used in real-time embedded software
- Real-time scheduling theory and algorithms used in wide practice
- Usage and comparison of two application programmer interfaces (APIs) in real-time embedded software: POSIX and the RTEMS Classic APIs
- Design and implementation in RTEMS of commonly found RTOS features for schedulers, task management, time-keeping, inter-task synchronization, inter-task communication, and networking
- The challenges introduced by multicore hardware, advances in multicore real-time theory, and software engineering multicore real-time systems with RTEMS
All the authors of this book are experts in the academic field of real-time embedded systems. Two of the authors are primary open-source maintainers of the RTEMS software project.
