Chapter

Directories and Files
μC/OS-III is fairly easy to use once it is understood exactly which source files are needed to
make up a μC/OS-III-based application. This chapter will discuss the modules available for
μC/OS-III and how everything fits together.
Figure 2-1 shows the μC/OS-III architecture and its relationship with hardware. Of course,
in addition to the timer and interrupt controller, hardware would most likely contain such
other devices as Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (UARTs), Analog to Digital
Converters (ADCs), Ethernet controller(s) and more.
This chapter assumes development on a Windows?-based platform and makes references
to typical Windows-type directory structures (also called Folder). However, since μC/OS-III
is available in source form, it can also be used on Unix, Linux or other development
platforms.
The names of the files are shown in upper case to make them “stand out”. However, file
names are actually lower case.
