Who Should Use This Guide

This guide is not intended to serve as an introduction to application development. It is assumed that you have experience developing applications in the C or C++ languages and are experienced in using the Solaris^TM operating environment as a development platform.

This guide includes, in its target audience, those readers unfamiliar with the development of embedded applications, or with the ChorusOS microkernel and native application programming interfaces. Rather, this guide will build on your existing knowledge. New topics are introduced in manageable pieces. Each chapter contains many solution examples. This publication has been designed to be read from cover to cover, however you will find it a valuable resource for referencing specific examples.
