Cons first since I am giving only ... *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2015* It's a good book.Cons first since I am giving only three stars (changed it to 4 since the author really makes an incredible effort to produce a ton of material):1. It is directed towards RTOS. However the RTOS focus is rather lacking.2. All RTOS concepts are explained theoretically. However, there are almost no real complete examples developed.3. The websites (s) supporting the book also don't contain a lot of RTOS support.Recommendation on a new version:Ditch many of the chapters on the ARM concepts. They are all important, but they are already covered in great length in the first two books. I don't see the need to re explain NVIC, UART, USB, GPIO to the great length it is detailed. This is actually pretty good data with many developed projects, and it would be fine to have this if the RTOS focus was more, say at least 3 more chapters detailing an example with tasks, semaphores, you would have to pick a particular RTOS but I think that would be ok, they are all a bit similar. Since RTOS is not fully developed then all the "other" good data seemed to pad the book.Pros:There is a ton of data on everything about the cortex M MCU. I mean a ton of data and fully developed projects for all. You name it, and there is a fully developed project with detailed explanations.... ### ⭐ Not a Real-Time OS Book *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2014* The author is NOT a software Engineer, he is an EE. (Personal prejudiced, I have not found many EEs that are good at software engineering.) As a result there are plenty of circuit examples, and probably many are useful, but the RTOS information is shallow and incomplete. If the author is going to presume to write about Real-Time Operating Systems, in todays world, he should include some mention of multi-core chips and processor to processor communication. There should be more information about Memory Barrier instructions, and how to use them, than about Maxim chips. More about effectively using the interrupt controller (NVIC) than about digital signal processing. The author stays preliminarily with TI/Luminary Micro ARM products. Not bad, but a limited set. None of these things are bad, in and of themselves, but they are secondary to the title topic - Real-Time Operating Systems for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers.The book is also self-published, presumably to reduce its cost. I don't see it. I have also found that it has numerous typographical errors throughout. This is the second edition, I hope that the author gets a good proofreader before publishing the third edition.The book may be a fair introduction for the high school student or freshman in college, but it is certainly not sufficient for a true course in Real-Time Operating Systems at any level.Buy if for reference, if some of the examples are useful. Do not buy it to learn Real-Time Operating Systems. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great condition, shipped fast *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2022* Book in great condition and shipped fast!
