Are you trying to develop with a real-time kernel, or just interested in understanding the workings of a real-time kernel? If so, here's a class that puts a spotlight on just how a real-time kernel works. The class uses Micrium's recently released uC/OS-III as a reference, and is presented by the kernel's author, Micrium's Founder, Jean Labrosse, in conjunction with one of the company's software experts, Matt Gordon. The class describes real-time kernels from generic terms to specifics involved with an ARM Cortex-M3 architecture.

Micrium's uC/OS-III, the new book about which was reviewed here, is the successor to the company's popular uC/OS-II real-time kernel.

Features of uC/OS-III that will be touched on in class include:

• Preemptive multitasking with round-robin scheduling of tasks at the same priority
• Adapting a real-time kernel to ARM's Cortex-M3 architecture
• Using an unlimited number of tasks and other kernel objects
• Semaphores
• Mutual exclusion semaphores with full priority inheritance
• Event flags
• Message queues
• Timers
• Fixed-size memory block management
• and more

At the end of Labrosse's class, you'll have an opportunity to get your questions answered live, directly by the man who authored the operating system.
