New! RE: FREE Rtos for ARM

How do you expect us to be able to send any FreeRTOS software to you? By airmail? email? US Postal?

What is wrong with visiting http://www.freertos.org instead of asking here - it isn't a Keil product, after all...

New! Truly free

Try here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightingbolt/

The documentation does not explain how the kernel works exactly. However, you can look in the assembly code in 'context_switch.c' for some information, accompanied by ARM7 architecture documentation!

In any practical manner, the code used in the link above to switch context on an ARM9 will run on ARM7 and vise versa.

FreeRTOS is also truly free!

Why push an unknown?

FreeRTOS has decent documentation, structure and good comments.

Well, it still requires you to go to the effort (!) of locating the site & downloading it - which the OP seems to consider is beyond him...

Why shouldn't he push Lightningbolt? At least the author is available on this forum, in case of problems :)

Yes he is, and is willing to give advise and to deal with criticism, too. But the poster above me was right: FreeRTOS is a much more generic implementation (I did not even try to conquer that objective...) and enjoys a huge users community. 'LightingBolt' was only downloaded 73 times so far...

Did you mean to call it "Lightning Bolt"?

Maybe people think "Lighting Bolt" is something for securing illumination hardware...?

Andy;
I'm sure that Tamir meant as fast as a "Lightning Bolt", but I'm not sure that "Lighting" is in not also correct.

"Lighting"-- The act of illuminating to achieve a particlur effect.

Would his micro RTOS not be illuminating to the new RTOS user ;)
