That about embedded RTOSes? IS anybody using them?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Tell me that embedded RTOS are you using?

What MCU?
What is the difference between you OS and other?
What do you like in that OS?
What do not you like in it?

If you are working with MCU Take a look at my http://sourceforge.net/projects/irtos/

Whaaaaa?

I have no idea what you're talking about, I can't understand your post, but I'll try by saying this: I've never used a RTOS or any embedded systems.

I wish I could add more tex

1) I have used washing machines with a built in "computer"
2) s/That/What
3) Your point?

Аs for me now I am using FreeRTOS.
It has a good RealTime level because it has very little peaces of code there system is working with interrupt disabled.
But I did not like that it takes a lot of RAM for semaphores and mutexes, and there is no way to work this static memory allocation. I know it sounds strange, but I need to use static memory allocation because RAM size is very small in Microcontrollers. About 4096 bytes. (Atmel 8 bit RISC MCU)

Hi,

I've got 3 KVMs and 3 ethernet switches. I assume they all have micro-controllers of some sort, and I assume they also have some sort of software. I don't know what type of micro-controllers, and I don't know what sort of software. I assume they all use "bootable applications", as there's no point bothering with any of the features an OS provides for any of these devices (except a bootloader, perhaps).


Cheers,

Brendan
