Abstract
In Chapter 3, the concept of the REAL/IX operating system, a fully preemptive real-time UNIX operating system, is described. In this chapter, the guidelines for designing real-time applications using the REAL/IX environment are given. The chapter begins with general programming guidelines, scheduling processes, and real-time memory allocation. Special emphasis is given to interprocess communication mechanisms, file systems, and device interfaces. This chapter includes a number of example programs.
