This document serves as an introduction to the MicroPower/Pascal microcomputer software development toolset. It covers the following key areas:
- Concepts: An overview of concurrent programming, the host-target relationship, and process management.
- Development: The five-step cycle for building an application: design, compile, build, load, and test/debug.
- Process Management: A detailed look at the MicroPower/Pascal kernel, processes, semaphores (binary, counting, and queue), and exception handling.
- Sample Application: A guide to the 'Shooting Gallery' example program, illustrating concurrent design, synchronization with semaphores, and how to create the memory image and run the application.
- Reference: Includes a comprehensive glossary of terms and utility descriptions.
