Symbian Os Internals: Real-time Kernel Programming

Symbian OS is the advanced, customizable operating systems licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers. It is designed for the specific requirements of advanced 2.5G and 3G mobile phones.

Symbian OS has a new, real-time kernel. This book will help you get up to speed on this exciting new technology. Symbian OS Internals is written by Symbian's kernel engineers, and will give a privileged look inside the world's most popular mobile phone operating system.

If you want to know what really makes the kernel tick, then this is the book for you. Symbian OS Internals describes in great detail the workings of the system layers of Symbian OS, covering a wide range of topics, such as: Processes, threads and libraries interrupts and exceptions device drivers the file and window servers power management ensuring high performance platform security

If you are developing drivers and servers for Symbian OS, porting the kernel of performing pre-market mobile phone OS analysis, then this book will give you a deeper understanding of the new Symbian OS real-time kernel.

Take a look inside Symbian OS with an under-the-hood view of Symbian's revolutionary new real-time smartphone kernel Describes the functioning of the new real-time kernel, which will become ubiquitious on Symbian OS phones in the next 5-10 years Will benefit the base-porting engineer by providing a more solid understanding of the OS being ported Contains an in-depth explanation of how Symbian OS drivers work. Device drivers have changed considerably with the introduction of a single code - this book helps those converting them to the new kernel The book has broad appeal and is relevant to all who work with Symbian OS at a low level, whatever Symbian OS they are targeting Written by the engineers who actually designed and built the real-time kernel
