[Mspgcc-users] Announcing TiROS: A Tickless RTOS that supports msp430/mspgcc

[Dev N. <rde...@gm...>]

TiROS (Tickless Real-Time Operating System) is a pre-emptive priority
based real-time task scheduler.  TiROS has been designed for reliable
real-time operation (Deadlock Prevention).


It is available under the eCos open source license (Free as in beer).

Current Hardware Support:
1) MSP430 with  GCC (mspgcc) or IAR.
2) Posix HAL that allows TiROS to run on Linux or in Cygwin.


Get started with TiROS in 2 mins:
   Download, compile TiROS for the Posix HAL and run the examples on
   your  desktop Linux or Cygwin environment.

Quick Facts and Features
---------------------------------------
* Tickless:  No periodic ticks.  High time resolution can be achieved
     with very low overhead.

* Prevention of Priority Inversion and Deadlock with mutexes:
    TiROS provides
    1) Immediate Priority Ceiling Protocol : Prevents priority
        inversion and deadlock.
    2) Priority Inheritance Protocol: Prevents priority inversion.

* Synchronization Primitives: mutexes, counting semaphores, message
   queues, event flags.

* Low overhead interrupts.
