Review: Best RTOS text on my shelf. - God send. RTOS agnostic which makes it useful regardless of your RTOS of choice, and the information in this book won't age like other RTOS specific texts do. I feel like it covers all of the bases one needs to hit in order to understand what RTOS is, when to use RTOS, and general strategies to successfully implement an RTOS in your system. The ID'ing of pitfalls, performance trade-offs, and aspects that other professional texts just don't get into, was great. So many books talk about things working, but never how they fail which is what actually happens in the real world. This book doesn't ignore reality when discussing theory, which is the key difference between it and other resources I own. Could use a little bit more proof-reading/editing, but otherwise well worth the price of admission.
Review: Very practical and well written - The author provides an outstanding introduction and explanation of the RTOS with all of the capabilities and challenges that go along with it. The style of writing is so easy to follow that it reads like a good novel! The practical nature of the material and examples of real-world applications are able to really tie things together. This will prove to be an outstanding reference book to me for years to come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful into to the theory of operating systems
*by S***R on October 27, 2019*

A little verbose, and most of the material can probably be found online for free, but good intro to the pros and cons of RTOSs including material on the dangers of deadlock, priority inversion and techniques to avoid this.
