ccs rtos
I just graduated with a BS Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology degree where I picked up an interest in embedded programming but apparently my degree isn't going to get me any where considering we didn't cover topics of Object Oriented programming or RTOS. Almost every single job requirement for embedded software engineer requires RTOS and a few of them require object oriented programming. We did spend class time with microchip PIC 16F877A's across three semesters in C using the CCS C complier.
I am looking at learning RTOS on my own and get a little experience with it but I do not know where to begin because my budget is fairly small.
I was thinking about going to a ARM 7 but I am having a hard time finding a cheap development system for it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated for a processor/board and maybe reference material (books, pdf's, websites).
Thanks
