The Basics of Line Balancing and JIT Kitting

Written by a prolific and well-known author, this advanced undergraduate/graduate textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to operating systems design. Rather than introduce a single new course that teaches embedded programming, this book takes the approach of integrating more embedded processing into conventional courses. It allows students to learn concepts using a real operating system, Xinu. The text focuses the discussion of OS on microkernel operating system facilities used in embedded systems. The example embedded platform used in the text is widely available and inexpensive.
