ABSTRACT
Porting µC/OS-II This chapter describes in general terms what needs to be done to adapt µC/OS-II to different processors. Adapting a real-time kernel to a microprocessor or a microcontroller is called a port. Most of µC/OS-II is written in C for portability; however, it is still necessary to write some processor-specific code in C and assembly language. Specifically, µC/OS-II manipulates processor registers, which can only be done through assembly language. Porting µC/OS-II to different processors is relatively easy because µC/OS-II was designed to be portable. If you already have a port for the processor you are intending to use, you don’t need to read this chapter, unless of course you want to know how µC/OS-II processor-specific code works.
