FreeRTOS
- Free RTOS kernel - preemptive, cooperative and hybrid configuration options.
- The SafeRTOS derivative product provides a high level of confidence in the code integrity.
- Designed to be small, simple and easy to use.
- Very portable code structure predominantly written in C.
- Supports both tasks and co-routines.(同时支持任务和协程)
- Powerful execution trace functionality.(强大的运行和跟踪功能)
- Stack overflow detection options.(堆栈溢出检测)
- No software restriction on the number of tasks that can be created.
- No software restriction on the number of priorities that can be used.
- No restrictions imposed on priority assignment - more than one task can be assigned the same priority.
- Queues, binary semaphores, counting semaphores, recursive semaphores and mutexes for communication and synchronisation between tasks, or between tasks and interrupts.
- Mutexes with priority inheritance.
- Free development tools (Cortex-M3, ARM7, MSP430, H8/S, AMD, AVR, x86 and 8051 ports).
- Free embedded software source code.
- Royalty free.
- Cross development from a standard Windows host.
- Pre-configured demo applications for selected single board computers allowing 'out of the box' operation and fast learning curve.
- Compile time configuration allows a ROM footprint print as low as 4.3Kbytes on an ARM7 (Thumb mode) using GCC (third party figures, requires specific GCC command line options).
看完这些介绍,让我对这个FreeRTOS有了一定的兴趣,但是对它的稳定性,现在有点质疑,不知道其稳定性能达到一个什么程度?能像uC-OS-II那样稳定可靠吗?它的出现是否要抢占uC-OS-II的市场呢?这无疑给uC-OS-II一个比较沉重的打击,我了解的和知道的实时操作系统都是收费的,没有免费的。它的免费,是否会像linux一样有前景呢?呵呵~期待它的强大。去下载一个源码,学习一下~
