Definitive real time kernel book

There is no need to further compliment about this book. This is definitely the only or the best book in real-time kernel! The author shows you how to write a kernal from scratch. Finally, I got to know the 'secret internal' of a sempahore despite its fancy name. The code also details the operation of the scheduler, task communication, memory management etc that are the fundemental yet important elements of a real time kernel.

However, the biggest inadequacy is the lack of examples to showcase how to use the uC/Os II in real life application. Maybe the other book by the author covers this area but one good example would really complete this book. On the other hand, although the code should work perfectly, but the coding style and and page layout are a bit difficult to follow. In other words, the code is not very readable, and I need to flip the pages back and forth for the code snippets and its text descriptions.

Anyway, this is a great book. Hopefully the 3rd edition will get better. (argh, but it is pricey)
