Content Summary:
This book introduces the embedded real-time multitasking operating system VxWorks and its host environment Tornado, and practically describes the program development process on it. The book details the important components of VxWorks, including multitasking environment, memory management, I/O system (including character devices), file system, and network communication. At the end of each chapter, there are frequently asked questions (FAQ) to help readers solve problems encountered during the development process in a timely manner. This book is mainly aimed at software developers with some experience in VxWorks or embedded systems, but some chapters are also very helpful for beginners, such as basic concepts and general development processes. This book can help VxWorks software developers better utilize the platform, understand its internal mechanisms, and expand platform functionality.
