The Embedded Configurable Operating System (eCos) gives professionals a low-cost, royalty-free embedded software development solution that works in highly constrained hardware environments. In this start-to-finish guide to eCos solution building, Anthony J. Massa covers eCos architecture, installation, configuration, coding, deployment, and the entire eCos open source development system. Massa's code examples and application case study illuminate techniques for building virtually any embedded system, from the simplest device to complex Internet-enabled wireless systems. CD-ROM included: The accompanying CD-ROM contains the complete eCos development environment, along with all the code presented in this book and additional open source tools.
ANTHONY J. MASSA earned a dual B.S./B.A. degree in electrical engineering from the University of San Diego. He has developed embedded software, device drivers, and applications on a wide range of processors and embedded RTOS platforms, for successful products including satellite PC receiver cards and modems, set-top boxes, networking broadcast equipment, and Internet-enabled wireless modems. Massa has written extensively on eCos in many leading publications including Doctor Dobb's Journal, Embedded Systems Programming, and Software Development.
