Before You Read This Book

If you are simply interested in learning what hot restart is, you will need to be familiar with C programming, and with the high-level architecture of the ChorusOS system before reading this guide. If you will be developing applications with hot restart, you are also expected to be familiar with programming ChorusOS actors, and the Sun Embedded WorkShop(TM) development tools. All of the ChorusOS prerequisite topics are covered in the ChorusOS 4.0 Introduction.

You will need access to a working ChorusOS host machine and target platform if you want to run the hot restart demonstration and example programs.
