Real-Time Embedded Multithreading Using ThreadX: Third Edition, Paperback/Edward L. Lamie

This third edition of Real-Time Embedded Multithreading contains the fundamentals of developing real-time operating systems and multithreading with all the new functionality of ThreadX Version 5. ThreadX has been deployed in excess of 5.5 billion deployments worldwide. General concepts and terminology are detailed along with problem solving and discussion of common pitfalls. The features and services of ThreadX are covered, including threads, mutexes, semaphores, memory pools, application timers, message queues, event flags groups, preemption-threshold, event-chaining, and designing a multithreaded system. There are no references to specific processors to allow for the book to be technology agnostic, and applicable to all types of microprocessors that the reader may be working with. A ThreadX Win32 Demo version and all project files used in the book are available for download. About the Author Edward L. Lamie is a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science.
