Prex is a portable real-time operating system for embedded systems. The small, reliable and low power kernel is written in C language based on micro kernel design. File system, UNIX process and networking features are provided by user mode tasks.

Pharos is a free open-source RTOS for secure, safe and real-time systems with the following characteristics: - Memory and enhanced time partitioning (TSP) - Native support for sporadic, periodic and aperiodic threads - Fixed-priority preemptive scheduler - Execution time protection (threads are prevented from executing for more time than they are configured to) - Small size (full image has ~100 to 300KiB text, ~30KiB data) - Hard real-time determinism - Fast critical sections - Prioritized nested interrupts - inter-partition communication with filters to protect unwanted access - Multicore support (RMP) - Supports ARM9, Cortex-A/R/M and Aarch64, RISC-V64 (64 bits) - The complete TestSuite (see below information) is run successfully for each platform in each release - Tested: more than 170 KLOC of requirement-based tests, executed for each board at each release - Up-to-date User Manual also available See our wiki page for more information.

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.

Advanced platform-independant, Object-Oriented threading and synchronization library. Designed and tested under POSIX & Win32 systems. Not just another thread wrapper.

AvRtos is a small, preemtive, priority based real time operating system for Atmel AVR and ARM microcontrollers. It was written in C. AvRtos provides message queues and semaphores for task synchronization. It uses a static memory allocation scheme. AvRtos is nearly the smallest RTOS out there. Even pico]OS is much bigger. AvRtos can be compiled using gcc compiler. There is a AvrStudio 4 and Eclipse project file to get the example code working very quickly.

colorForth is, in Chuck Moore's own words: "A dialect of Forth that uses color to replace punctuation. Includes its own operating system. Produces extremely compact programs. Instant compile from pre-parsed source."

This is a small library that allows comunicating with a Webasto (tm) W-Bus capable car heating system. Runs on Personal Computers or for embedded devices (slim design). Easily portable. Includes a Heater manager, heater controller program and more. The GIT repository (CVS is deprecated) also includes a control unit application to control W-Bus capable devices, a W-Bus compatible heater unit firmware application and a heater simulator for testing purposes. Also, a serial port loop back driver for linux is included to simulate OBD II K-Line adapters.

The Femto OS is a very concise portable preemptive operating system for embedded devices with minimal ram and flash, up to say 16K flash, 1K ram. The main target is the AVR architecture, such as the ATtiny861/461/261 series.

Visopsys is an alternative operating system for PC compatible computers. In development since 1997, this system is small, fast, and open source. It features a simple but functional graphical interface, pre-emptive multitasking, and virtual memory. Though it attempts to be compatible in a number of ways, Visopsys is not a clone of any other operating system. You can demo the distribution from a “live” CD/DVD or floppy disk

OS9exec - execution environment for OS-9/68k user-mode programs on MacOS9 / MacOSX / Windows and Linux host OS. (OS-9 is an RTOS of Microware/Radisys)

UEFI GPT fdisk is a port to UEFI of the famous GPT fdisk partitioning tool, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ . Now since this program runs directly under UEFI shell you don't need to *boot* the system to convert/edit partition tables.

amforth is an extendable command interpreter running on AVR ATmega and TI MSP430 microcontrollers. The Risc-V and ARM architectures are ascending. Turnkey actions for IoT workloads are possible as well. The command language is close to the Forth 2012 standard.

"µOS++" (micro OS plus plus) is an open source, royalty-free, real-time operating system intended for embedded systems built around ARM Cortex M or AVR devices. It is based on a preemptive scheduler written in C++ (more info in the Wiki).

Ivmuk-OS is small RTOS for microcontrollers with low resources. Microchip's PIC16F877A MCU uses about 70 bytes of RAM and 800 bytes Flash. Memory usage depends on number of tasks and messages defined. This should create competition to Salvo OS some day.

Nucleus is an Operating system Kernel that is totally different from Linux and Windows. It is easy to understand and implement. It will have native support, small architecture and full VGA support (no text mode).

A base for programs. Includes algorythms for Q-learning and SOM's etc. too. Examples: Hamron: Simulates evolution, uses the 2D-renderer. DriveUnit: created for school, for a robotic arm, uses the 3D-renderer. Hlearn: http://www.sagenb.org/home/pub/8

Fast, multi-threaded OS for PCs and 386+ based embedded systems. Runs many DOS, DPMI and Win32 console programs. 100% assembly with segment protection.

scmRTOS is tiny Real-Time Preemptive Operating System intended for use with Single-Chip Microcontrollers. scmRTOS is capable to run on small uCs with as little amount of RAM as 512 bytes. The RTOS is written on C++ and supports various platforms.

CakeOS is a hobby operating system started by Lukem_95. It is written in C with some partial ASM coding. Cake is a modern OS with portable functions and drivers. We are looking to keep a fairly small team size for this project.

Graphical OS Kernel compiled with gcc 4.6.1 and nasm 2.09.08

UZIX is a UNIX Implementation for MSX machines, based on UZI written by Douglas Braun. It is a multiuser, multitask operating system, implementing almost all 7th Edition AT&T UNIX kernel functionality.

WinUSB is Windows Portable. WinUSB can install in USB Disks. Modified Windows 9x can install (minimum) 256 MB. Windows 95 with WinUSB supports NTFS, DVD's and more. Portable Modified Windows XP can install, too.

This project intend to offer a small multimedia operating system to watch films, listen music or look pictures. --please report any bug to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/festival-os --ask your questions to https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/festival-os
