Realtime Embedded Multithreading Using Threadx And Arm Edward L Lamie by Edward L. Lamie 9781578201341, 1578201349 instant download after payment.

All you need to know, Dear Reader, is that this book is -- literally -- a selective reprint of Express Logic's ThreadX User's Guide that is available for free download on their site. Differences? It's pared down a bit and a perfunctory chapter on ARM hardware is tacked on. What did the author actually contribute to this book? His 'PhD' for the cover? Also, nearly one third (100 out of 350 pages) of this book is padding: an API reference, a more comprehensive version of which is, yes, again, available for free download from Express Logic. Bottom line: I CANNOT in good conscience recommend this book: first and foremost because 99% of its content is excerpted verbatim from the freely available ThreadX User's Guide and the remaining 1% is covered better elsewhere (for example, in _ARM System Developer's Guide_ by Sloss -- a fundamental, extensive, and very well-written book). PS. A side observation: I've never seen a good book from this publisher, CMP (formerly R&D). I just thought I'd share.
