Hi,

Is it possible to embed an OS into a PIC mcu ?? where can I get details for this, I also would like to know where it would be an advantage over the usual methods of firmware developement??

thanks
arun

By OS do you mean RTOS - Real Time Operating System?
If so, Salvo or uCOS are 2 but do not work with CCS.

You mean run Linux on a PIC? That is not likely with the resources a PIC has available. You would have to use one of the tiny ones made for small microcontrollers.

Hi

I have completed various version and options of a RTOS for hitech.
I am looking at CCS as they now support pointers to functions.
in asembler it starts of 51 bytes in size the smalletst version.
To 130 bytes with tick nad delays to 201 bytes with events + semaphors.
I shall kepp you all updated.
