<H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 Who should read this HOWTO</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>This document is meant for all those who wish to know the working of a
|
|
realtime kernel. For those of you already familiar with module programming,
|
|
the document wouldn't appear as a difficult one. And for others, you needn't
|
|
worry; since only the basic concepts of module programming are required,
|
|
which we would indeed discuss, as and when required.
|
|
<P>

|
|
<P>First of all I would like to thank my advisor, Pramode C. E, for his
|
|
encouragement and help. Also I express my sincere appreciation to Victor Yodaiken.
|
|
This document would not have been possible without all the information
|
|
gathered from different papers contributed by Victor Yodaiken. I am
|
|
also grateful to Michael Barabanov for his thesis on "A Linux-base
|
|
Real-Time Operating System".
|
|
<P>
|
