Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Embedded systems are becoming an integral part of commercial products today. Mobile phones, watches, cars and flights controllers etc. are to name a few. There are critical elements between the system hardware and the software, one of the primary is the Real Time Operating System which ensures control, compatibility and timing. The Real Time Operating System has to interface/communicate well with the hardware below it to prevent casualty, and with the software above to ensure the applications running in a proper way. Therefore, more and more attention is being paid to the porting relationship between Real Time Operating System and Application Software by engineers in embedded field. Comparing and evaluating the performance of different Real Time Operating Systems is getting more important. Measuring is the only way to provide useful information, for example, which Real Time Operating System is best suitable for a specific hardware configuration. The purpose of this thesis paper is to find an approach to exchange MicroC/OS-II with NOKIA Car-kit OS on a micro-controller system. Besides porting MicroC/OS-II to the micro-controller system, the interfaces to higher level application software should be generated to adapt the application software to MicroC/OS-II. Finally, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of them. In chapter 1, a brief introduction is provided. In chapter 2, the concept of RTOS and the development of Real Time Kernel are introduced. The field on which RTOS is always focusing and why RTOS is especially important in Embedded Systems are explained. The essential performance and the differences among several RTOS are also discussed in this chapter. In chapter 3, the micro Real Time Kernel MicroC/OS-II is introduced in details. The speciality of MicroC/OS-II and the services provided from MicroC/OS-II are explained. Also, the micro-controllers that MicroC/OS-II supported are introduced. In chapter 4, NOKIA Car-kit OS (NOKIA Car-kit Operating System) is introduced. The development history and some of important service mechanism are introduced briefly. In chapter 5, the evaluation and comparison of these two Operating Systems are made. The most important characteristics, the advantages and disadvantages for both of these two RTOS are discussed. In chapter 6, the software-mapping layer is discussed in detail. In this part, the whole software development procedure is explained. Issues from problem analyse, [...]
