The MicroC/OS kernel was published originally in a three-part article in Embedded Systems Programming magazine and the book ''μC/OS The Real-Time Kernel'' by Labrosse.<ref>{{cite book |last=Labrosse |first=Jean J. |date=15 June 2002 |title=μC/OS The Real-Time Kernel |edition=2nd |publisher=CRC Press |isbn=978-1578201037}}</ref> He intended at first to simply describe the internals of a [[Software portability|portable]] OS he had developed for his own use, but later developed it as a commercial product in his own company Micrium, Inc. in versions II and III.
