Study-guide for "Hands-On RTOS" book

An Unofficial Study-Guide for the Book:

Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers

1/29/2022

The book Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers is good overall. However, it has a number of errors, code bugs and unclear points. There are also bugs in the system-tools. Further, the book has omitted information needed to use those tools. In running the book's code, diagnosing and fixing these problems can be time-consuming and require extra skills.

This study-guide provides corrections and clarifications for the book, and additional needed information. The study-guide covers the first three-quarters of the book.

Corrections, feedback, and discussion are most welcomed. Each webpage has a comments section.

About the study-guide's author (Jim Yuill): I'm new to embedded-systems, but I have many years of related experience, e.g., in operating-systems development and university teaching.
