impression

My first version is sent to freeRTOS as we speak. I hope this port will have his place into the demo section one day. My first impression of this light weigth kernel is really great. The core contains only 3 c-files so it's a good example of "the beauty of simplicity" or "less is more" ! I was impressed how easy it was to port. Everything is well organized and the things you have to write to port are very limited. 

As this kernel can be running on real live targets I post a quote below from the freeRTOS site:

"It's probably safe to say at this point that FreeRTOS goes through more 'peer-review' than any other RTOS available on the planet. I have used it in several projects - one of which was a multiprocessor environment that used more than 64 processors and needed to run for months reliably. The FreeRTOS core performed well. Take FreeRTOS for a spin." - John Westmoreland 

If I caught your attention than you definitly want to take a look here:
