Synopsis
Jean Labrosse is the author of the popular MicroC OS II (uCOSII) operating system. This book is a collection of "C" routines for common interface applications/tasks in embedded systems.

The book is a good collection of basic interface techniques and code for common tasks such keyboard interfacing, LCD display control etc... If you have never programmed an LCD display using the Hitachi HD44780 chip (or equivalent) this book can save you hours of frustration trying to figure out the odd address locations of the display characters.

There is also an introduction to Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) in general, and MicroC OSII in particular.

Originally the software was written for Intel 80186 architectures, and the PC environment. However, since the code is written in"C", it is easily ported to any architecture which supports a "C" compiler. Now-a-days, that is practically every one!
