ANN: WhatOS embedded system solution
The first version of WhatOS has been released. www.sticlete.com/whatos http://sourceforge.net/projects/whatos WhatOS is a free open source embedded system development solution. It provides a complete set of tools for creating high-quality, reliable embedded systems. These include: a real-time operating system (RTOS) generator, a graphical simulator for testing and debugging generated systems, and tools for interacting with systems remotely after they have been embedded. WhatOS generates a finite-state machine (FSM) operating system that is architecture independent and can run on processors as small as resource-limited 8-bit microcontrollers. Key Features ------------ * User friendly thanks to Python (primary API). * Automated testing thanks to Python's doctest and unit test. * Modular -- plug and play tasks without breaking the whole system; easily share device drivers, network protocols, etc. * Write tasks in C (C API). * Graphical simulator. * Uses friendly a-a-p recipes instead of make files. (www.a-a-p.org). * Host platform independence (currently Linux and Windows-Cygwin). * Target architecture independence. Change the target processor late in the design cycle with minimum penalty. * Do anything else you want -- use Python's comprehensive libraries and Python community software.
