    QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools

    QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools

    Real-Time Event Frameworks based on active objects & state machines

    QP real-time event frameworks (RTEFs) provide lightweight, modern, event-driven architecture based on asynchronous Active Objects (Actors) and Hierarchical State Machines. The matching QM model-based design tool and other host-based tools complement the QP frameworks by supporting graphical modeling, code generation, software tracing, and unit testing for event-driven embedded software. Visit https://www.state-machine.com for more information. The QP RTEFs can run on bare-metal microcontrollers, replacing a traditional RTOS. The frameworks contain a selection of built-in real-time kernels (RTOS kernels), such as the cooperative QV kernel, the preemptive non-blocking QK kernel, and the unique preemptive, dual-mode (blocking/non-blocking) QXK kernel. Native QP ports and ready-to-use examples are provided for ARM Cortex-M (M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7/M33/...) as well as other CPUs. The QP RTEFs can also work with many traditional RTOSes and General-Purpose OSes, such as Linux and Windows.

    ravynOS

    ravynOS

    A BSD-based OS project that aims to provide an experience with MacOS

    We love macOS, but we’re not a fan of the ever-closing hardware and ecosystem. So we are creating ravynOS, an OS aimed to provide the finesse of macOS with the freedom of FreeBSD. This is a developer preview image that’s mainly intended for helping build the system. We recommend running in a virtual machine, although it should work on any hardware supported by FreeBSD-CURRENT (14.0) with at least 2GB (8GB recommended) RAM. PLEASE NOTE: On 2022-02-14, we decided to abandon the current path of using X11/KDE desktop components and write from scratch a new UI that will align better with our goals. This stepping back will slow the project but ultimately should result in a better outcome. We intend to bring many of the features you’ve come to love from macOS to ravynOS like clean design, global menus, and drag-and-drop installs. All of your FreeBSD ports and apps, Linux apps, and even trivial Darwin & macOS binaries can now run on ravynOS. And we’re actively working on improving it!

    HelenOS

    HelenOS

    A microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch.

    HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand. HelenOS does not aim to be a clone of any existing operating system and trades compatibility with legacy APIs for cleaner design. Most of HelenOS components have been made to order specifically for HelenOS so that its essential parts can stay free of adaptation layers, glue code, franken-components and the maintenance burden incurred by them.
