hi,
Could anyone give recommendations on RTOS books?
Specifically, books talk a little in-depth on general design and implementation of RTOS, such as scheduling, concurrency, interrupt handling, device drivers; also, comparison of different RTOSes such as VxWorks. Basically, good books for a senior embedded software developer interested in RTOS area.
Appreciated, Chen

I have never encountered 3rd party author write a book covering RTOSes. It looks like you'll have to read thru each vendor's manual.
Other than that, I think you can get by with reading general Operating Systems textbooks. Even after reading such books in school, I never really learned much about the theory of scheduling, concurrency, and interrupts that I can apply to a closed-source RTOS which I can't see the source code anyways. Maybe for Linux, it will help.
If you want to see a university course on RTOSes, go to
